[?] Cancelling MsgPlus::DownloadFile by roflmao456 on 08-09-2008 at 07:58 AM
i'm currently testing some code and playing around with MsgPlus.DownloadFile.
is there a way to 'cancel' the function before it finishes?

Short but simple: No.
Actually I haven't tried, but if you add an OutFile, and try deleting that file, there's two possibilities: either it fails because the file is locked, or it succeeds and the DownloadFile returns with boolSuccess = false.
Might be interesting though what Patchou has to say about this.

Well, if you try to download a file in many sections/parts using the xmlhttp object and "Content-Range" header, you can "cancel" the download by stopping the request of the next file byte range from the server.

But with xmlhttp you can just .abort()
