Handler to limit the threads per IP address for DOS protection

The ThreadLimitHandler applies a limit to the number of Threads that can be used simultaneously per remote IP address.

The handler makes a determination of the remote IP separately to any that may be made by the ForwardedRequestCustomizer or similar:

  • This handler will use either only a single style of forwarded header. This is on the assumption that a trusted local proxy will produce only a single forwarded header and that any additional headers are likely from untrusted client side proxies.
  • If multiple instances of a forwarded header are provided, this handler will use the right-most instance, which will have been set from the trusted local proxy
Requests in excess of the limit will be asynchronously suspended until a thread is available.

This is a simpler alternative to DosFilter
