CirrostratusBecause this is all about HTTP communication and being a bit more polite for client using browser, I do not like to just generate TCP session reset - I would like to inform client about some issues with accessed site via HTTP response codes.
Second reason is that when TCP connection is reset/closed browser is trying to send request few times in a row - at least Firefox seems so. This is overhead so I would like to avoid it. When instead of TCP reset 403 or 500 is returned browser is not trying to send more request.
