Name for HTTP Request+Response
The spec calls them "exchanges" (or "request/response exchanges"),
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.
(answer originally taken from a duplicate question)
- RFC2616 calls it an Exchange.
- Wireshark and HTTPNetworkSniffer call it a Request/Response.
- Fiddler calls it a Session.
- Charles calls it a Sequence.
- HTTP Scoop calls it a Conversation.
- Other vocabulary includes: Message, Transaction, Communication.
I would go for Exchange
or RequestResponse
.
I also went to name it Operation
in my code as I would queue Operations, flush Operations, pause or resume Operations.
