It doesn't silently drop, it sends a header indicating it's closed the TCP connection.
This is a pretty common pattern whereby you want keep-alive.for performance reasons, but you don't want clients running _too long_ creating hot spots on your load balancers.
- phrotoma 2y agoWhat header? Our client was envoy and it's pretty standards compliant, and it just kept trying to use the connection. Edit: I see that it is `connection: close` I wonder if that is new behaviour or if envoy did not honour it at the time we encountered the issue. Thanks for the info!
- temac 2y agoInstead of closing the connection it sends a message stating that it is closed? Wow.
