If the client-side code were programmed to send a Cancel request to the
backend when the user loses interest, then the right things would
happen. I am not sure how practical that is though; does the web server
even find out about it when the user presses Stop in a typical browser?
(If not, you can hardly expect Postgres to somehow intuit what happened
two protocols away ;-).)
