title: HTTP server detecting a broken network connection from a HTTP client
body: <p>I have an web application in which after making a HTTP request to the server, the client quits ( or network connection is broken) before the response was completely received by the client. </p>
  
  <p>In this scenario the server side of the application needs to do some cleanup work. Is there a way built into HTTP protocol to detect this condition. How does the server know if the client is still waiting for the response or has quit?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
