There's one thing I haven't found in rfc 2616 and that's a "canonical" name for a request/response pair. Is there such thing?
4.1 Message Types HTTP messages consist of requests from client to server and responses from server to client. HTTP-message = Request | Response ; HTTP/1.1 messages
Taking this as a template, which word would you put in the following sentence?
A single complete HTTP ... consists of one HTTP Request and one HTTP Response HTTP-... = Request Response
roundtrip? cycle?
Exchanges is nice name, also we can use Connection, Communication or session
Transaction, yes, or "A singe HTTP Request consists of one HTTP Request message and one HTTP Response message."
The spec calls them "exchanges" (or "request/response exchanges"),
