Re: [whatwg/fetch] Aborting a fetch: The Next Generation (#447)

@optimalisatie The concept of cancelling via the response body has been suggested before, at https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/27#issuecomment-86981339

That is however *not* the same as canceling a request. If the server takes a while to respond (or time out), then there is no way to cancel the request. The suggestion is a good fallback for a polyfill to approximate the desired functionality, but by no means a satisfactory way to cancel a fetch *request*.
