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

<p>(int)The NIO connector implements an OutOfMemoryError strategy called parachute.
It holds a chunk of data as a byte array. In case of an OOM,
this chunk of data is released and the error is reported. This will give the VM enough room
to clean up. The <code>oomParachute</code> represent the size in bytes of the parachute(the byte array).
The default value is <code>1024*1024</code>(1MB).
Please note, this only works for OOM errors regarding the Java Heap space, and there is absolutely no
guarantee that you will be able to recover at all.
If you have an OOM outside of the Java Heap, then this parachute trick will not help.

<p>This <strong>Connector</strong> supports all of the required features
