title: Express: Do not send response to request
body: <p>Is it somehow possible in Express to not respond at all? I don’t want to send a <code>4xx</code> or <code>5xx</code> in a specific case, but just show the “server did not respond” error (in Chrome it’s the <code>ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE</code>).</p>
  
  <pre><code>router.get('/noresponse', (req, res, next) =&gt; {
    res.end(); // this will send an empty page with a 200 status
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To clarify: I want a behavior similar to NGINX when “sending” a <a href="https://httpstatuses.com/444" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>444</code></a> status. (which does <strong>not</strong> actually <strong>send</strong> a <code>444</code> to the client, but cancels the request)</p>
