Hi all,

Say I have some kind of login mechansim of a web application. I would like to 
insert an artificial delay of 5 or 10 seconds in case the login fails (due to 
wrong password or user name) to make it a tad more awkward for poeople to break 
in using the brute force method.

Now all I want to do is slow down that connection. How do I do this with the 
least impact on the overall system? I don't just want the worker thread dealing 
with this request to sleep because that effectively blocks it and thus has an 
impact on the rest. I am using HTTP Core NIO.

Which would be a good approach? I have looked at lots of the example code 
before, but do not remember this kind of thing being mentioned.

I am asking because I would like to add this feature in the Little Portal Gizmo 
<http://lipog.sourceforge.net>.

Any pointers?

Cheers,
Joerg
