That doesn't seem to do anything -- Rails keeps on chugging along and returning the stuff for the previous request. It's only an issue because these are massive requests, they take many seconds each to finish, and if you click on a link to load a really large one, then click on a link to load a smaller one, the smaller one would load first, then the larger one would wipe it out. I've already worked around that with a semaphore, but I'd really like to tell the server to quit trying!
