title: How does IIS / ASP.NET handle dead connections? (no HTTP Keep-Alive in effect)
body: <p>Can IIS / ASP.NET make use of the TCP keepalive option to detect dead connections? Note that these connections do not have the HTTP Keep-Alive option in effect. These are connections, just abandoned by the clients, leaving IIS / ASP.NET threads hanging, waiting for data. Are there mechanisms in place by which IIS / ASP.NET handles such scenarios?</p>
