Re: Abort a download

Hi Steven,

This looks like a bug in Internet Explorer when it offers an incomplete
download to a user, even though Content-Length does not match the actual
file length. According to
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.4, Content-Length
takes precedence over the server closing the connection. I'd pass this along
to the IE team.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Based on my test, when you turn off buffer of the page resposne, it will
write out response headers at initial flush so that after the server-side
close or terminate the connection, the client-side will just act like the
response output finished. I've tried through exception or abort response
or
worker thread but haven't got any effect. I think this due to the
ASP.NET's
control over response is at a high application level that doen't deep
enough for the raw HTTP communication. For your scenario, you may consider
some IIS isapi filter solution as it can help much more control over the
underlying http communication.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
