Aborting Ajax.Request

[Mert Hurturk]

Hi everyone,

I have found a way to cancel an Ajax.Request. Just wanted to know if
there is an already solution for this, or a better one?

Here is the code:

var axConnection;
new Ajax.Request('sample.php', {
onCreate: function(request) { axConnection = request; },
});
axConnection.transport.abort();


PS: When I abort the connection the way above, Ajax.Request fires
onSuccess event. Is there a way to avoid that?

Thank you!

There has actually been some goings-on with .abort and timeouts...
Here are some tickets if you're interested:

The simplest way to fix onSuccess is check if transport.send() is
false according to specs, but your mileage may vary depending on the
browser. It's worth a short though.

(Though you should direct questions outside of the Core group.)
