 5.7 Request intro
 =================
 
 By convention, requests which begin with a capital letter do not elicit
 a response from the server, while all others do - save one.  The
 exception is `gzip-file-contents'.  Unrecognized requests will always
 elicit a response from the server, even if that request begins with a
 capital letter.
 
    The term "command" means a request which expects a response (except
 `valid-requests').  The general model is that the client transmits a
 great number of requests, but nothing happens until the very end when
 the client transmits a command.  Although the intention is that
 transmitting several commands in one connection should be legal,
 existing servers probably have some bugs with some combinations of more
 than one command, and so clients may find it necessary to make several
 connections in some cases.  This should be thought of as a workaround
 rather than a desired attribute of the protocol.
