Here is an example Backend:

[HttpGet]
public List Get(){
        var gotResult = false;
        var result = new List();
        var tokenSource2 = new CancellationTokenSource();
        CancellationToken ct = tokenSource2.Token;
        Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
        {
            // Do something with cancelation token to break current operation
            result = SomeWhere.GetSomethingReallySlow();
            gotResult = true;
        }, ct);
        while (!gotResult)
        {
            // When you call abort Response.IsClientConnected will = false
            if (!Response.IsClientConnected)
            {
                tokenSource2.Cancel();
                return result;
            }
            Thread.Sleep(100);
        }
        return result;
}

Javascript:

var promise = $.post("/Somewhere")
setTimeout(function(){promise.abort()}, 1000)

Hope I'm not to late.
