Description

When starting the TestServer with the first appended patch:

bin/TestServer --protocol=json --transport=http --server-type=thread-pool --port=9080

And connecting to it with this shell command:

wget --post-data='[' http://localhost:9080

The connection stays up for a long time. Making DOS attacks very easy, because at some point the server runs out of available client connections.

The second appended patch fixes the issue in TConnectedClient.
