what i mean is this. The client (browser) can disconnect the connection with the server by clicking the STOP or Reload button on the browser. When this happens, the server will not know and will keep processing the previous request from the client.
If the server is to process a time consuming task, this would be a waste because when it sends the response, the client cannot receive it. Therefore, I thought there was some method (probably isConnected) in HttpResponse or HttpRequest that returns true only if the client is still connected.
