The XMLHttpRequest.abort() method aborts the request if it has already been sent. When a request is aborted, its readyState is set to 0 (UNSENT), but the readystatechange event is not fired.
Example
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(),
method = "GET",
url = "https://developer.mozilla.org/";
xhr.open(method,url,true);
xhr.send();
xhr.abort();
