Abstract

A method and apparatus for managing requests in a computer network. A request for a resource from a first node is received by a second node. The request for a resource comprises a header with a timeout indication corresponding to an amount of time the first node will wait for a response to its request for the resource. The second node sends to the first node a response to the request for the resource prior to the end of the amount of time indicated in the timeout indication. The response to the request comprises either the resource or an error message.
