I have a service where people can upload large files and I would like to give them the option to cancel in the event that the connection is too slow and they give up or something similar.

I thinks you can use unpipe, pause and cork methods.

please see https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html

Is it possible to also use it to stop the connection on the server side with those methods ?
Can you give a sample for cancelling stream on the client and server side please ?

Has anyone got this ever working? A small code sample would be greatly appreciated.
