EAP 7 request limit filter provides 513 response instead of 503 when rejecting a request

Environment

• JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 7.x

Issue

• We set up the request limit filter per How to configure max concurrent requests limit for specific application in EAP 7 but we note this provides a 513 response code when rejecting a request. We would have expected a 503 response instead.
