+Move to {Stream} API instead, as the [`http.ClientRequest`][],
+[`http.ServerResponse`][], and [`http.IncomingMessage`][] are all stream-based.
+Check `stream.destroyed` instead of the `.aborted` property, and listen for
+`'close'` instead of `'abort'`, `'aborted'` event.
+
+The `.aborted` property and `'abort'` event is only useful for detecting
+`.abort()` calls. For closing a request early, use the Stream
+`.destroy([error])` then check the `.destroyed` property and `'close'` event
+should have the same effect.
