In general, you cannot count on the server even knowing that the request
was cancelled. The following scenarios are all possible:
* The entire request was read before the cancel happened, so no
notification is possible until the response is written back out
and receives an IOException. (This is by far the most common case.)
* Tomcat was able to read the headers, but does not need to read
the data. In this case, it is the application (not Tomcat) that
would receive an IOException when trying to process the input
stream. Therefore, it is up to your application to respond
appropriately.
* Tomcat was unable to read the headers (because the cancel happened
very quickly). It will typically log an exception and throw the
request away.
