Cancel a request when cached data is available

[ghelton]

I would like to send a request and have Restangular intercept and resolve the request if cached data is available. This may be related to #589 but I came up with a jsfiddle which demos how I'm attempting to do this:
http://jsfiddle.net/astrism/q9qyox50/13/

The request is still made when the code runs. Any ideas?

Change

                var defer = $q.defer();
                defer.reject();
                httpConfig.timeout = defer;

to

                var defer = $q.defer();
                defer.resolve();
                httpConfig.timeout = defer.promise;

Example here http://jsfiddle.net/q9qyox50/14/

The request is cancelled but the cached data is not sent.

Any suggestions?

I wrote example, using decorator for $http, that caching request promise to prevent multiple request to the same url
