There is no mechanism in the HTTP protocol for the client to stop a request that is
in progress (in a browser, that would be via the STOP button).  As Dan mentions,
the request will continue to be executed on the servIet is possible that the
servlet will encounter an I/O exception when it starts writing the response, but
you cannot count on this because of buffering or socket recycling going on
underneath the covers.
