- TylerE 2y agoNo. HTTP is Client/Server, not Server/Server.
- groestl 2y agoMy servers beg to differ.
- yellowapple 2y agoIf your servers are making HTTP requests, then they are clients in the context of those requests.
- Groxx 2y agoSo send a request in the opposite direction. Now both are servers, and they're communicating with servers. Server to server communication on http. (What would "server/server" even mean if you're making that distinction? Two communicating parties that only receive data, never sending it?)
- TylerE 2y agoSomething like database replication where they’re equal peers. Or an IRC network (the server to server parts of it).
