I am having struggle trying to abort an HttpRequest.

So is this possible at all?

No matter what I try, saving the request on a variable, chaining .abort() method directly, I keep getting the same message:

 

TypeError: Property 'abort' of object com::cutehacks::duperagent::Promise(0x1a0b97a8) is not a function

Thanks

Hi Alberto,

Can you please share a short code example for which the abort() method does not work for you?

Thanks,
Alex from Felgo

Hi Alex,

Here you are, maybe I’m misunderstanding something

 

function fetch(){

        const request = HttpRequest.get('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/')
        .then(function(res){
            console.log(JSON.stringify(res.body))
        })
        .catch(function(err){
            console.log(err)
        })

        // Here, "abort" is not a function of "request"
        request.abort()

    }

Hi Alberto,

You are actually storing the Promise returned from .then().catch() to request, not the request itself. Please try the following example:

 

  function fetch() {
    var request = HttpRequest.get('https://google.com')

    request.then(function(res) {
      console.log(res)
    }).catch(function(err) {
      console.log(err)
    })

    request.abort()
  }

Brilliant, thank you Alex
