So it would be nice to have this in the filter (at least) documentation.
So instead of:
while ($f->read(my $buffer, BUFF_LEN)) {
# ....
$f->print($buffer);
}
have this:
while ($f->read(my $buffer, BUFF_LEN)) {
return Apache::DECLINED
if ($f->r->connection->aborted);
$f->print($buffer);
}
Unless there are some caveats that I am unaware of by doing this.
This made a big deal to some of my filters as they would keep processing
large files unecessary after the client aborted.
