How can a Netty server cancel receiving a response

问题:

Does anyone know the best way for a netty server handler to cancel receiving data from a web server? I have a server handler which proxies HttpRequests to a web server. However, when the requesting client cancels the request, I would like to stop receiving data on my server channel from the web server without closing the connection between the server handler and the web server.

Does anyone know how I can go about doing this. Your response would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

You could call channel.config().setAutoRead(false) this will tell netty to stop reading from the Channel. Once you want to start reading again just call channel.config().setAutoRead(false).
