Throttling Number of active connection - Information about watsonwebserver

[jchristn]

Hello @yashhema there is no capability today in the library to do this. You could however maintain a variable in your application that is incremented each time a connection is being serviced and decremented thereafter, and you could configure the PreRoutingHandler to check this variable and either permit (return false) or deny/terminate the connection (return true).

        /// <summary>
        /// Function to call prior to routing.  
        /// Return 'true' if the connection should be terminated.
        /// Return 'false' to allow the connection to continue routing.
        /// </summary>
        public Func<HttpContext, Task<bool>> PreRoutingHandler = null;

Hi @yashhema please try v3.3.0.2 and re-open if any issues.

NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Watson/3.3.0.2
Commit: 91043a5

Usage:

_Server = new Server("127.0.0.1", 8000, false, DefaultRoute);
_Server.MaxRequests = 5;
_Server.Start();

static async Task DefaultRoute(HttpContext ctx)
{
  // your code here
}

Implementation: if the private _RequestCount exceeds MaxRequests, await _HttpListener.GetContextAsync(); is not entered. Instead the server will pause for 100ms and restart the loop.

Cheers, Joel
