How to cancel an HTTP request in Firefox Addon SDK

Question

The Request object in the Firefox Addon SDK does not offer the abort function: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/1.1/packages/addon-kit/docs/request.html

I skipped the way to abort HTTP requests or do I need to change packages\addon-kit\lib\request.js

I don’t think you are missing something. Post to the mozilla-labs-jetpack group , open an error , or even directly request a transfer , adding this function if you are lucky.
