title: Tomcat server.xml connection timeout configuration
body: <p>I have read that connection timeout in <em>server.xml</em> just close connection in case of timeout but it would not stop thread which is going processing for request. In that case what we are achieving by closing connection?</p>
  
  <p>I am not sure how much resources are occupied by a connection, I thought closing connection will just release socket (some memory). I just want to understand real advantage of this flag. </p>
