Re: [whatwg/fetch] Aborting a fetch (#27)

@jeffbski you basically discovered why this thread exists :D 

in XHR the `readyState` 2 is when headers has been sent and are available to be read (aka: also received) while readyState 3 is the downloading process, what streams do with fetch.

During readyState 3 you can abort but not before, like you've discovered, hence the need to be able to abort, specially because that initial bit on mobile and not so great connection, is what makes the web not ideal, and in most quick-fetch cases, aborting instead of keep asking ignoring previous resolved requests, if ever, smells like hell.
