Description
Expected Behavior
I want actix-web to stop processing requests when the client closed the connection.
Current Behavior
It doesn't stop processing the request.
actix-future-cancellation.mp4
Possible Solution
Providing a way to see if the connection is still alive, if that’s even possible with tcp?
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
See https://github.com/irevoire/actix-web-future-cancellation-on-timeout
Context
In Meilisearch we cannot process more search requests than we have core.
But we don't want to refuse search requests when all cores are used, which means we have to store a queue of search requests to process.
Sometimes users have searches that can take a few seconds to process.
When this happens, emptying the queue takes time. But it shouldn’t since most clients will disconnect after waiting for a few seconds.
When the queue gives us a permit to process a new search requests, I would like to check if a client is still connected before doing any extra work.
