Tristan, I'm in agreement with the original poster -- in fact, I found this conversation by searching for "mina connect cancel", because I wanted to know how to programmatically cancel a connection without waiting for a timeout. Being able to cancel at will turns out to be extremely useful when building a client with a user interface. For example, when you use a browser and you type the wrong address, you can always hit the "stop" button and try something else. Or if it's taking a while to connect and you're not willing to wait for the timeout, since you have good reason to believe that the site may be down, you hit "stop". I'd like to provide the same feature in my user interface. I can do it, in a sense, by telling the user that the connection has been canceled, while maintaining my own separate thread waiting for the connection to be completed; when it's completed, I can then immediately kill it. But it's a shame I can't just kill the connection attempt immediately and be done with it at that point. If the user doesn't want the connection anymore, he or she should be able to kill it.
In summary, a cancel() method in ConnectFuture would be a huge help. Thanks! MINA is really a great project; it's made a big difference in my productivity.
