I'd like to see the REQUEST be flat plain aborted when someone hits the stop button or the connection dies.
Thats probably impossible if there is an HTTP proxy between your browser and zope.
Why? It seems logical for a proxy to also reset the connection to the backend server when he looses the connection to the client. I haven't verified this, though.
By 'impossible' I meant that it is impossible to *guarantee* that the proxy will disconnect in the way that Chris wants. In some cases it will, but it is certainly not required. Squid will hold on for a while until it has got all the headers, and will hold on indefinitely if it has nearly downloaded the whole response.
