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