Name for HTTP Request+Response
http, http-1.1, naming
Solution
The spec calls them "exchanges" (or "request/response exchanges").
Per section 1.4, "Overall Operation":
In HTTP/1.0, most implementations used a new connection for each request/response exchange. In HTTP/1.1, a connection may be used for one or more request/response exchanges […]
Problem
There's one thing I haven't found in RFC 2616 ("Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1") and that's a "canonical" name for a request/response pair. Is there such thing? 4.1 Message Types: ``` 4.1 Message Types HTTP messages consist of requests from client to server and responses from server to client. HTTP-message = Request | Response ; HTTP/1.1 messages ``` Taking this as a template, which word would you put in the following sentence? ``` A single complete HTTP ... consists of one HTTP Request and one HTTP Response HTTP-... = Request Response ``` roundtrip? cycle?
