Abstract
Example embodiments provide for keeping an HTTP reply flow for a communication open such that portions of an overall response corresponding to a single request may be sent across the HTTP reply flow. As the various portions of the overall response become available at a corresponding service endpoint, the service appropriately encapsulates the messages and sends them to the requesting endpoint. The recipient or requesting endpoint of the response is then capable of reading the available portions of the response and appropriately decodes the embedded portions and is free to process these as appropriate. Accordingly, because only one request is made for several portions of a response valuable system resource are reserved for only requiring one authentication and/or validation of a requesting endpoint.
