How to cancel a server fetch call to a remote endpoint?
Hey guys,
I need a way to cancel a request made from nitro to multiple external dotnet core apis - and I didn't find a way to "forward" the cancellation from the the nuxt frontend to the nuxt/nitro backend.
Can anyone help me? Is this even possible?
Background: The endpoints do some complex longer running tasks and it would be awesome if the get cancelled (as they normally would if the calling end closes/ends the connection)

thanks @L422Y for your reply!
I already tried the abortController, which works to a certain way, BUT
The problem I am facing is that I don't want to cancel every previous request if a new one comes in (because this would led to issues between different instances calling the nuxt api) - just the cancellation from the current fetch should be aborted if it is cancelled from outside.
I tried
event.node.req.on handler,but these are also coming after the request finished and not when it got cancelled already
