cancel_message


Description:

public virtual void cancel_message (Message msg, uint status_code)

Causes this to immediately finish processing msg (regardless of its current state) with a final status_code of status_code.

You may call this at any time after handing msg off to this; if this has started sending the request but has not yet received the complete response, then it will close the request's connection. Note that with requests that have side effects (eg, <literal>POST</literal>, <literal>PUT< /literal>, <literal>DELETE</literal>) it is possible that you might cancel the request after the server acts on it, but before it returns a response, leaving the remote resource in an unknown state.

If the message is cancelled while its response body is being read, then the response body in msg will be left partially-filled-in. The response headers, on the other hand, will always be either empty or complete.

Beware that with the deprecated SessionAsync, messages queued with queue_message will have their callbacks invoked before cancel_message returns. The plain Session does not have this behavior; cancelling an asynchronous message will merely queue its callback to be run after returning to the main loop.

Parameters:

this

a Session

msg

the message to cancel

status_code

status code to set on msg (generally soup_status_cancelled)
