[Qt-interest] cancel http requests

[Atlant Schmidt]

Mandeep:

  But that doesn't actually have any effect on the
  server, does it? There's no way in the HTTP protocol
  to cancel an in-flight request; one can just ignore
  the data returned by the server.

  It's not nice, of course, to set the server working
  on a bunch of stuff one will end up ignoring; the
  server probably has other clients who are waiting.

It is, if you have a handle to QNetworkReply object that was returned
in your get/post method call (QNAM::get/post);

http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qnetworkreply.html

You can call QNetworkReply::abort() to cancel the pending request.
