Can I Cancel an HTTP Request?

HTTP request can't be just cancelled guys, especially that we are in a stateless environment. It's very hard to propagate that cancellation signal all the way to the process that is being that is processing that actual request. To you at the client side or the front end, you think that their request has been canceled. However, if we move to a client server architecture, and let's take a database, for example, right? First I have to establish a connection to the database.
