Hello,
I’m building a custom HttpResult designed to stream content to the browser.
In my case I’m working with video, so I’m taking content from a file, sending bytes from that file into FFMPEG and then reading bytes from STDOUT and streaming them back to the responseStream.
Because transcoding video takes time I want to detect when a user has canceled a request and kill the executable. At present I’m doing this by listening for exceptions when writing to the responseStream.
It appears to be throw this:
System.Net.HttpListenerException (0x80004005): An operation was attempted on a nonexistent network connection
Is this the best way to detect a request cancellation in this context?
Many thanks!
