node.js提前终止请求

Question

In my app I'm downloading a file if I click on it thanks to http.get

var buffer = fs.createWriteStream('file.txt');
$('a').click(function(){
    http.get(url, function(res) {
        res.on('data', function(chunk) {
             buffer.write(chunk);

and if I click on a second link, it will download it on the same buffer as well.

this doesn't work well and the two files get mixed.

• What I want is to kill the first request when I start the second one, any idea how to do this?

• Also I'm using http.get , but sometimes the module request.get , I don't see any differences, which one should I use for this job?

Answer 1

I found a way around with event emitters:

require('event')

just emit something, and catch it to kill the request with a res.destroy();
