Abstract
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for processing data requests received over various communication protocols. In particular, a data transfer component may be configured to process data requests and/or responses between requesting devices and data handlers utilizing various communication protocols (e.g., peer-to-peer communication protocols, web based communication protocols, etc.). In particular, communication protocol functionality may be abstracted away from the data handlers, and may be handled by the data transfer component. In this way, data handlers may be communication protocol agnostic because the data transfer component may perform the communication protocol functionality on behalf of the data handlers, which may allow the data handlers to be more 'lightweight' and focus primarily on fetching and/or formatting requested data.
