abort previous ajax call in datatables 1.10

Hi there,

my previous implementation of the function doing the ajax call is not working in datatables 1.10 to abort the previous ajax call:

// Aborting the previous XHR;
	
    if (settings.jqXHR)
        settings.jqXHR.abort();

	settings.jqXHR = $.ajax({ ... }

how can I get the expected behavior back?

best regards - Jens
