Yes. There might also be -1/errno combos to watch for.

It may still invoke your access handler callback, in fact if MHD is
still trying to *send*, that seems likely as MHD won't do recv() to
detect the client's disconnect state. However, in your callback, you
could simply return "MHD_NO" to force MHD to close down the connection
at that time.
