Support cancellation via .destroy() and AbortSignal, and setting a timeout

• I have searched existing issues to ensure the feature has not already been requested

🚀 Feature Proposal

It would be nice to support a way to cancel the request via a .destroy() method and/or an AbortSignal like the plain Node.js http.request, and also setting a timeout with a similar interface to http.request or something more suitable for light-my-request.

Motivation

https://github.com/segevfiner/axios-light-my-request-adapter

Example

const controller = new AbortController();
const req = inject(/* ... */, {signal: controller.signal, timeout: 1000});
controller.abort();
const res = await req;

I have absolutely no idea how this could be implemented. HTTP is not canceleable.

[segevfiner]

It's essentially closing the connection, simulating a client disconnect. That's what ClientRequeat.destroy or using an AbortController with it does.

Would you like to send a Pull Request to address this issue? Remember to add unit tests.

Sadly, this doesn't work when server response is a stream.

Executing controller.abort() throws an AbortError: The operation was aborted within Fastify lib
