[New-bugs-announce] [issue35017] socketserver accept a last request after shutdown

[Denis Ledoux]

New submission from Denis Ledoux <be.ledoux.denis at gmail.com>:

After the shutdown of a `BaseServer`, the server may accept a last single request if it is sent between the server socket polling and the polling timeout.

This can be problematic for instance for a server restart for which you do not want to interrupt the service, by not closing the listening socket during the restart. One request can fail because of this behavior.

Note that only one request will fail, following requests will not be accepted, as expected.
