Drop connection vs Response with error - can it be configured

[Jesús Couto Fandiño]

Hi.

This may be a very elemental question but... from the mod_qos documentation:

"Counteractive measures to enforce the defined rules are: request blocking, dynamic timeout adjustment, request delay, response throttling, and dropping of TCP connections."

But I've been searching all over the doc and I dont see in which cases or by which configuration could I say that I want, say, to drop the TCP connection to the client without any processing at all instead of sending a HTTP Response with an error code.

Is this configurable? How? Or I'm missing something?

some restrictions denies requests while others do block TCP connections (depending on their function/behavior)
