By default, the Aurora Engine does not allow shutdown requests. If the Aurora Engine is configured to allow shutdown requests, the client may request that it be shut down:

You do not need to include any data with the request; if any data is supplied, it is ignored. However, the Content-Length header must be present or the server rejects the request.

• If shutdown is not allowed (Shutdown=false in the configuration file), a 401 Unauthorized result is returned.
• If shutdown is allowed (Shutdown=true in the configuration file or if the service was started with the --shutdown option), a 200 OK is returned with no data.
