Howdy, The ability to abort a connection is not currently present in HttpClient without a bit of messing around. Probably the easiest way to do it, is override the GetMethod so that you can get a hold of the HttpConnection instance, then just close it when you want to abort.
We are looking to add this feature for the 2.1 release though it won't make it into the 2.0 release. I'd suggest you search the archives of the httpclient-dev list as this has recently been discussed there. That's also the best place for all HttpClient questions whether they are dev related or user related. Finally, including [HttpClient] in the subject of your email on the commons-user list makes it more obvious to HttpClient developers - there's no need for that over on the httpclient-dev list though.
