how to safety close file stream

[MisterChangRay]

i wanna write a file download server.

as Response code as following

        return Response(
          200,
          body: File(file.path!).openRead(),
          headers: headers,
        );

as u see, i send file as stream for return;

but, i has a proplem, on browser download large file , if user cancel download process, the file has never be closed!

so, how to get the socket error for close the file stream?

i saw the code in file shelf_io.dart at line 254

  return httpResponse
      .addStream(response.read())
      .then((_) => httpResponse.close());

this then call be stream read end, if exception has occur, the call not be execute.

and i search on google, find the HttpResonse has a done method, this method has called by any case;

so , can expose the httpResonse.done method?

What do you think about monitoring the amount of data that the user has already downloaded and setting timeout to close if the data block has not been downloaded yet?
