How to Properly Cancel a Download Using THttpClientSocket's WGet Funct

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a downloader for large files using the `THttpClientSocket` client and its `WGet` function, inspired by the mORMot2 `mget` tool. The downloader works fine with tuned parameters, but I'm facing an issue canceling a download mid-process.

I've tried calling `client.close` to interrupt the download, but it doesn't seem to stop the download as expected. Could anyone guide me on the correct workflow to cancel a download, dismiss the cache, and prevent the download from continuing?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Do you want to cancel the Download from another thread?

Try the new client.Abort method.

Thanks for your response, I am using the latest stable version and I can not find an abort function associated to the THttpClientSocket client, do you mean I should go to the newer versions?

Yes, as I wrote this is a new method, not available in "stable".

You can use today's trunk for instance.
This version seems stable:
