Is it possible to abort a request while its pending?

Code:

var response = await request({uri :”https://www.google.com”})

How would I go about aborting this request?(Not talking about setting timeout)

You have to call: .cancel

const req = request({uri :”https://www.google.com”})

req.cancel();

Have in mind that it will be tricky to use with await, unless it's happening in another part of the code. If you show as a fully working example, and when you want to abort the request it will be easy to give you an example.

Here is the documentation:

This method cancels the request using Bluebird's cancellation feature.

When .cancel() is called:

  • the promise will neither be resolved nor rejected and the
  • request is aborted.

    What would be the approach if I want to cancel after - lets say 5 seconds after `request()` is made with `await`? – iam thadiyan Jul 06 '19 at 07:03
