Description
How can I detect if remote connection closed? Is there any event I can suscribe to? I am currently creating a server that streams big files from Amazon AS3 and I need to detect when the user closes the connection (i.e closes the browser) to also close the read stream... any idea?
Thanks very much beforehand!!

Research direction
Start by inspecting the server's HTTP connection and streaming lifecycle to find how a client disconnect is exposed. Confirm whether the remote close can be detected reliably and define completion as stopping the Amazon S3 read stream when the browser connection closes.
