Abstract
An apparatus includes: a communication unit which communicates with an external apparatus according to an HTTP; a receiving unit which receives, through the communication unit, an HTTP request for executing predetermined processing; an execution unit which executes the predetermined processing according to the HTTP request; a determination unit which determines whether the execution unit has started execution normally; and a transmitting unit which transmits an HTTP response including a processing result to the external apparatus according to the HTTP request. If the receiving unit has received a request, the transmitting unit transmits a part of an HTTP response before the execution unit finishes execution. If the determination unit has determined that the execution has been started normally, or that the execution cannot be started normally, the transmitting unit transmits an HTTP response including data obtained from the execution, or an HTTP response not including such data, respectively.
