6  <p>The <strong>HTTP Connector</strong> element represents a
7  <strong>Connector</strong> component that supports the HTTP/1.1 protocol.
8  It enables Catalina to function as a stand-alone web server, in addition
9  to its ability to execute servlets and JSP pages.  A particular instance
10  of this component listens for connections on a specific TCP port number
11  on the server.  One or more such <strong>Connectors</strong> can be
12  configured as part of a single <a href="service.html">Service</a>, each
13  forwarding to the associated <a href="engine.html">Engine</a> to perform
14  request processing and create the response.</p>
15
16  <p>If you wish to configure the <strong>Connector</strong> that is used
17  for connections to web servers using the AJP protocol (such as the
18  <code>mod_jk 1.2.x</code> connector for Apache 1.3), see
19  <a href="ajp.html">here</a> instead.</p>
20
21  <p>Each incoming request requires
22  a thread for the duration of that request.  If more simultaneous requests
23  are received than can be handled by the currently available request
24  processing threads, additional threads will be created up to the
25  configured maximum (the value of the <code>maxThreads</code> attribute).
26  If still more simultaneous requests are received, they are stacked up
27  inside the server socket created by the <strong>Connector</strong>, up to
28  the configured maximum (the value of the <code>acceptCount</code>
29  attribute.  Any further simultaneous requests will receive "connection
30  refused" errors, until resources are available to process them.</p>
