I'm not a native speaker but I would say that using the term "upstream" is not really fit for this particular case unless A really _streams_ data from B - that is, opens a long-lived connection with the amount of data to be transferred not known before making a request, and with the request usually lasting until B goes offline or A loses interest in receiving the data. A very good example of streaming is transferring some sort of "events" (for instance, "realtime" data from a stock exchange, messages in a chat system etc). Otherwise, if A makes short-lived requests to B, I would just call B "a server" and A - "a client". The both parties may be programmed in a way that B also requests some data from A, and in this case they switch roles; this is fine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
