XMLHttpRequest: abort() method
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers, except for Service Workers.
The XMLHttpRequest.abort() method aborts the request if
it has already been sent. When a request is aborted, its
readyState is changed to
XMLHttpRequest.UNSENT (0) and the request's
status code is set to 0.
If the request is still in progress (its readyState is not XMLHttpRequest.DONE or XMLHttpRequest.UNSENT), a readystatechange event, abort, and a loadend event are dispatched, in that order. For synchronous requests, no events are dispatched and an error is thrown instead.
Syntax
js
abort()
Parameters
None.
Return value
None (undefined).
Examples
This example begins loading content from the MDN home page, then due to some condition,
aborts the transfer by calling abort().
js
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
const method = "GET";
const url = "https://developer.mozilla.org/";
xhr.open(method, url, true);
xhr.send();
if (OH_NOES_WE_NEED_TO_CANCEL_RIGHT_NOW_OR_ELSE) {
xhr.abort();
}
