How to disconnect http request connection before the http request body has been retrieved?

[teerapap]

I'm writing a http server with Node.js.

I have a client to upload a large file to this server via HTTP
POST(multipart/data).

I want to accept the only connection which upload the file with valid
filename.(I have some conditions.) The invalid filename connection
should be disconnected before the server retrieves all the data.

I have no idea how to disconnect the http request connection and
return the proper http response.

The http request has only req.pause() method which isn't an answer.
and if I call req.connection.end(), the response.writeHeader()/write()
doesn't send the response.

First write and then end. Or call end with the data as argument.

req.write(data);
req.end();

is afaik equivalent to

req.end(data);

You mean res or req?

I've tried req.end("hello") and found this error

TypeError: Object #<an IncomingMessage> has no method 'end'

but for res.end("hello"), it doesn't stop the request.

Did you try request.socket.destroy()?

Yes, that works. Also request.connection.destroy(). Both cut the
connection.

However, it cuts the connection before the response has already sent
the data back with res.end(). How do I wait on response to be sent?

in net.Stream you can call stream.write with a callback that will be
fired when data is flushed to the kernel. it doesn't look like the
callback is exposed in http library. maybe you should raise an issue
for this to be added to the http api?
