Alamofire cancel a request out of multiple requests

Question

I'm using Alamofire to upload a several files to my server with separate requests at once, the file names are displayed in a tableView along with a progress bar. When the user tries to delete a file while it's uploading the tableView cell should be removed and the request should be cancelled.

I know the following code is to be used to cancel an Alamofire request:

var request: Alamofire.Request?
self.request?.cancel()

So, I tried making an array of Alamofire.Request like

var requests = [Alamofire.Request]()

And then cancelling the request according to the index.

But this doesn't seem to be the correct way because it's not working, any suggestions?

Thanks.

According to the documentation cancel would:

Cancels the underlying task, producing an error that is passed to any registered response handlers.

Therefore, add a response handler to your request and see whether error messages are passed to them. If so, it means that the cancel operates correctly.
