Canceling all existing HTTP requests in Internet Explorer/IWebbrowser

Question

I'm automating an Internet Explorer window using the IWebBrowser API. Is there a way to cancel all outstanding HTTP requests in IE/IWebbrowser?

I've tried the following and none of them work.

1. Calling IWebBrowser::Stop(). This only cancels navigation and does not stop existing downloads from continuing.

2. Navigating to 'about:blank'. This stops new requests from being made, but existing HTTP requests will continue.

3. Calling Abort()/Terminate() on each of the IInternetProtocol handlers. This causes IE to crash (not surprisingly).

Answer 1

using System.Web.SessionState;

Session.Abandon() or
public void Abandon()

Not supported? Not sure which language or tool your using ... but, generally this will abandon the current session.
