There is an alternative: recommend that clients reset their own request streams once the response is received. If the intent is to terminate the transmission of excess bytes of a request, then this achieves that goal. The disadvantage being that there is less determinism from the server perspective. The server still has its flow control window, I guess. I don't see any value in a new mechanism to solve this problem.
