  factory.someRequest = function() {
    var request = $httpCancellable({
      method: 'GET',
      url: 'http://example.org/hello'
    }).then(function(response){
      //handleResponse
    }).catch(function(error){
      //Cancel will trigger error here
      //Handle error
    }).finally(function(){
      //do something else
    });

    if (requestTakesTooLong()){
      request.cancel();
    }
    
    return request;
  };
  
  return factory;
  
});
