Not quite -- the HTTP request remains outstanding and blocks the request  
queue.  I need to clear those requests out, as I need to process new  
requests ASAP.  This should be handled by the HTTP client itself, as only  
it knows how many requests it has actually sent to the server.  (The  
alternative would be for the HTTP client to expose a crediting mechanism;  
though this would complicate the application.)
