Request (computing)

In computing, a request is data that a client sends to a server.

The server receives the request, and sends a response. (Alternately, the server might receive the request and deliberately not send a response.)

A typical example is a web browser sending a request to a web server, and the web server sending web page data (HTML, CSS, images, etc.) in response.
