Abstract
A computer implemented method handles service requests for HTTP-based services via IP ports that are located on HTTP servers. These HTTP servers are logically coupled to a port sharing mechanism that handles service requests from clients, and each of the multiple HTTP servers provides the same HTTP-based service. A request for the HTTP-based service is sent to an IP port in a first HTTP server. However, this IP port has a current number of active IP connections that exceeds a soft cap. Nonetheless, this IP port is directed to accept and execute the request, and then to terminate its connection with the client. Any subsequent request for this same HTTP-based service is directed to another of the multiple HTTP servers.
