Cancel Request Handler on Client Disconnect

[winstxnhdw]

I am wondering if handling http.disconnect is something that Granian will want to support or should it be implemented at a higher level?

@winstxnhdw can you elaborate on what you mean by higher level?

Should the responsibility for handling this behaviour be at whatever framework or application that adopts Granian.

To clear this out: Granian currently supports and emits http.disconnect events, as part of the ASGI spec.

The main point of discussion (in #286) regards the fact Granian is currently unable to emit such event eagerly when the client actually disconnects. And as stated in #286, this is not really a matter of willingness in supporting such behaviour, but rather a consequence of the structure in the underlying library which Granian uses.
So, to answer your question, the only ways to fix #286 are either:

• have a proper indication from Hyper team on how to do this with 1.x (if possible at all)
• have Hyper team add the functionality in the library and thus implement the relevant code in Granian

Given that #286 is open for pledges, I will be happy to accepts PRs implementing that and give 100% of the pledges to the relevant author(s).

I don't see any other way to proceed here.
