[OpenLayers-Users] Canceling a currently loading WMS layer

[Tom B]

Hi Andreas,

Great, thanks.  

In case anyone else is trying to do this, I needed to call .destroy() on the
layer for this to work (not sure if that's clear from the changeset).  Just
calling map.removeLayer() resulted in HTTP requests for WMS images
continuing to be made after the layer was removed.

Cheers,
Tom
