Title : Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Activity Identifiers
Author : Scott Perham
Filename : draft-activity-identifiers-00.txt
Pages : 6

Abstract:
It is very common that implementers of HTTP severs require the ability
to associate an identifier to an HTTP request and or response, this can
be for a number of reasons which could include checking for duplicate
requests, allowing the caller of an API to maintain a record of their
interaction with the server or to track client/server requests through
a disparate system of services. In any case, the implementer will quite
often use a custom HTTP header and either assign a value itself or
require the caller to supply the value. This document outlines a
consistent storage mechanism for this identifier by way of a standard
HTTP header and a new status code for when a mandated identifier is
omitted. The purpose is to create better consistency for clients of
third-party HTTP servers and HTTP based APIs by introducing this
standard request and response header.
