Once you sent a HTTP request, you cannot cancel it any more from the client side. You could send a second request to the server to cancel the previous request but that can lead to very unpleasant effects, e.g. when a cancel request arrives before the original one.
So either don't fire the original request or make the server robust enough for all request.
