Skar,
This behavior has existed for quite a while in client-server connections
on the web. I remember some years back having an Apache web server
spiral out of control because clients experienced load delays during
heavy usage periods and stopped/restarted their page request, causing a
further decline in response performance as an additional request got
added to the already-overloaded Apache server. Eventually, the server
memory ran out and trashed the server completely when it locked up.
I think this behavior is discussed in the standards for the handling of
http connections by both clients and servers - I don't think it's
implemented consistently across all implementations on either end. In
the end, I don't think there's a method defined in the web standards for
a client to tell the server that it doesn't need the response to the
request for some esoteric reason that likely only Al Gore remembers (he
invented the Internet, right?).
HTH,
Gene
