Abort in-progress page fetch?

[pospischil]

Is there an easy way to abort an in-progress page fetch when a (turbo)link is clicked?

Here is the scenario:

• User viewing Page A
• User clicks link to go to Page B (server takes 2000ms to respond)
• before server has responded with Page B, user clicks a different link, to Page C (server responds in 25ms)
• Page C loads
• Server finishes loading Page B, page contents change to that of Page B

Ideally, I'd like to have the response for Page B be ignored, but I don't see an easy way to do so...Am I missing something? Is this intended behavior?

Good idea, we can do this with an xhr.abort();

@davydotcom You're going to take a swing at this?
