The exception filter is a client thing, so the only exception catched are 
those of the outgoing connection. 

If the browser cancel its request, only the tee stream can detect that 
(See w3c.www.protocol.http.cache.ActiveStream)
You can, generate an interrpution, and modify the exception filter to 
detect this particular exception.
