Reliable HTTP

Description

HTTPR is a protocol for the reliable transport of messages from one application program to another over the Internet, even in the presence of failures either of the network or the agents on either end. It is layered on top of HTTP. Specifically, HTTPR defines how metadata and application messages are encapsulated within the payload of HTTP requests and responses. HTTPR also provides protocol rules which make it possible to ensure that each message is delivered to its destination application exactly once or is reliably reported as undeliverable. HTTP/1.1 serves as the base on which HTTPR builds. As such, all of the facilities of HTTP/1.1 are available.
