    public class ShutdownHandler
    extends HandlerWrapper
    A handler that shuts the server down on a valid request. Used to do "soft" restarts from Java. If _exitJvm is set to true a hard System.exit() call is being made. If _sendShutdownAtStart is set to true, starting the server will try to shut down an existing server at the same port. If _sendShutdownAtStart is set to true, make a http call to "http://localhost:" + port + "/shutdown?token=" + shutdownCookie in order to shut down the server. This handler is a contribution from Johannes Brodwall: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=357687 Usage:
        Server server = new Server(8080);
        HandlerList handlers = new HandlerList();
        handlers.setHandlers(new Handler[]
        { someOtherHandler, new ShutdownHandler("secret password", false, true) });
        server.setHandler(handlers);
        server.start();
       
       public static void attemptShutdown(int port, String shutdownCookie) {
            try {
                URL url = new URL("http://localhost:" + port + "/shutdown?token=" + shutdownCookie);
                HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
                connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
                connection.getResponseCode();
                logger.info("Shutting down " + url + ": " + connection.getResponseMessage());
            } catch (SocketException e) {
                logger.debug("Not running");
                // Okay - the server is not running
            } catch (IOException e) {
                throw new RuntimeException(e);
            }
        }

                               String shutdownToken)
        Deprecated.
        Creates a listener that lets the server be shut down remotely (but only from localhost).

        public ShutdownHandler​(String shutdownToken,
                               boolean exitJVM,
                               boolean sendShutdownAtStart)
        Parameters:
        shutdownToken - a secret password to avoid unauthorized shutdown attempts
        exitJVM - If true, when the shutdown is executed, the handler class System.exit()
        sendShutdownAtStart - If true, a shutdown is sent as a HTTP post during startup, which will shutdown any previously running instances of this server with an identically configured ShutdownHandler
