[Matthew Painter <matthew.painter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, let me outline a better example :)

Say that a user requests a page in a browser that is serviced by a servlet that uses jetty continuations. This servlet kicks off some long running HTTP request to another API (say 1 minute), and suspends the request. When this HTTP request is finished, the data from the proxied request is processed, and the continuation resumed, and data passed back to the user.

This is all good. But what if the original HTTP request is cancelled by the user in the browser? Can we detect this, complete the continuation, and cancel the proxied HTTP request somehow?

Many thanks

Requests cannot be canceled.

Or, you have to explain exactly what you mean.
