Please describe the feature requested.

If an application has a cancel button, it may want to abort the current 
operation.  If the current operation is an HTTP request execute, it may be 
expensive to wait for it to complete.  Once possible way to accomplish this is 
to simply shut down the thread in which the HTTP request is running.  That may 
be a bit too rough for some applications, and may not fit the threading model 
of some use cases, such as with AsyncTask example linked above.  Instead one 
may wish to do a soft cancellation, in which some isCanceled flag is checked 
frequently whenever it is convenient to do so.

Note that HttpRequest is currently not designed for being called from a second 
thread.  So such a change would be a fairly significant one from a design point 
of view.
