an http handler test case for when the server kills an XHR upload

upload.coffee

http = require 'http'

server = http.createServer (request,response) ->
    console.log request
    switch request.method
        when 'OPTIONS'
            response.setHeader 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*'
            response.setHeader 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'PUT'
            response.setHeader 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Content-Range'
            response.setHeader 'Access-Control-Max-Age', '0'
            response.end()
        when 'PUT'
            # (1) sometimes seems to help?... still not reliable 
            #request.connection.allowHalfOpen = false
            response.statusCode = 500
            response.setHeader 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*'
            # (2) causes the XHR upload to stop, but the browser does not display the status code 500
            #response.setHeader 'Connection', 'close'
            response.end()
            # (3) same effect as (2)
            #request.connection.destroy()
