That will depend on how far the fetch from the target url got processed. If all the of the data has been retrieved from the other end then data in a buffer somewhere will be discarded. If the remote server hasn't responded yet and the urlfetch is cancelled then you don't know how much has been executed on the far end. If it where a zope server for instance whatever was requested would be processed in full but no end point would exist to write the data back to (from the servers point of view) So you really can't tell if you don't check the async call with a get_result or wait. You really have an indeterminate state. Why not do some tests. The fact the multiple async urlfetchs can be performed means that the requests can be made and will reach the destination if you don't get hit with a DeadlineExceeded before the connections are dispatched.
