Abort api request when first request is cancelled #34

Closed lionep closed 6 years ago

lionep commented 6 years ago

Call the abort method of the request object when main request is canceled.

This is useful when express-request-proxy is used to proxify long polling requests.
In the polling mode of socket.io, when a client disconnects, the long polling request is canceled, but the proxified request persists between the middleware and the remote server.
The remote server sees the client as connected until the request timeouts.

Hi @dvonlehman Any chance to merge this PR ?

lionep commented 6 years ago

Thanks, I just add a unit test to check that a request with a body spawn only one request.
