How to handle request cancelation?

[ririsoft]

I am serving big files (movies) with tide and get a lot of errors due to cancellation of the video playing on client side.
I am wondering wether this should be handled at async-h1 level or tide level (for instance).

I started looking into this but haven't picked it back up. I think it might end up related to handling graceful shutdown in tide http-rs/tide#528

Go does it like this:

• When the handler is done reading the request body, start a "background read"
• If the background read completes with EOF or with error, the request has been canceled.
• If the background read completes with some data, this is part of the next (probably pipelined) request. That data needs to be kept around for decoding it.
