Description

*Title*: Http local rate limiter support for silent drop

*Description*:
There is a scenario in which a malicious client continues to bombard the server with requests despite receiving a 429 response. Is there a way to close the connection without returning the response? Temporarily blocking the bad IP may also be helpful in preventing the server from wasting resources.
