Description
When I run a Qualys VMDR scan against your example NHttpFileServer server, which is adjusted to only allow TLSv1.3, I see the two I/O-dispatch threads spinning, and a number of sockets (~40) never closing.
The adjusted example code is attached: AsyncExample.java
The I/O dispatch threads are consistently inside SSLIOSession.doHandshake() and handshaking is true and HandshakeStatus is NOT_HANDSHAKING. The threads seem to enter this code for every "bad" connection, and then repeat it all over again making no progress and keeping the sockets open.
As far as I see - the Qualys tests are sadly not open source - Qualys is just doing ~ 2000 HTTPS GET requests with different paths, apparently looking for known insecure applications. It is unclear what's special about the failing connections.
If I run the SyncExample.java server instead, the scan completes successfully.
If you can suggest any instrumentation that will gain some insights on this problem, I will be happy to assist.
