Well, you control the server. It's your own server, right? Can you not tell
the server to limit how many connections it accepts from any one client?

That's not a rhetorical question -- I don't know the answer, and I know
nothing about HTTPS server. But I would imagine that they don't allow
unlimited connections from each client. Can you tell your server to only
allow N connections from each client, where N is small enough?

I suppose that's your question, right? Of you were using Apache, this might
point you in the right direction...
