Q:

How to cancel ajax request that has run (on server side)

I was wondering if there's a simple way to cancel an AJAX request?
Beyond just calling an 'abort' on the XMLHTTPRequest on the client side, is there a way to easily stop the server process?  The server is using Apache.
Thanks

A:

No. There's definitely no simple way.
I can think of some complex ways, but they would be unreliable.
You'll probably have more luck developing a process for reversing the changes from a request you've just run (I'm assuming that's the reason you would want to stop it.)

A:

Initiate another Ajax request.  I found this thread by trying to figure out how to prevent a previous request from being interrupted when another is called.
