Make the name of IHttpClientContext more concrete

[evgenyvalavin]

What is the purpose of IHttpClientContext? Hard to say...
The main idea of IHttpClientContext was to think of this as a server. Why would not to rename IHttpClientContext to IServer then? It'll dramatically increases the idea and understanding of the concept.

@Maxerdan any thoughts on this?

[Maxerdan]

It's unnecessary and confusing.
If we open IHttpClientContext we see RunEnpoint wich would mean "Start listening endpoint..." in IServer context

[evgenyvalavin]

@Maxerdan I wouldn't say renaming IHttpClientContext is unnecessary. IHttpClientContext does require renaming.
We need to think about other options then.
IRemoteServer?
What if RunEndpoint() needs renaming to not confuse with "Start listening endpoint"?

[Maxerdan]

I don't understand why "Server" should be part of the name.
IHttpClientContext needs to send the request not recieve it.
Server associated with running machine or service wich task is to handle the requests and send the response.
IHttpClientContext do the client functions in "Client-Server" relations.
I think IHttpClientContext name is correct. For example, lets look into Apache, "Adaptor class that provides convenience type safe setters and getters for common HttpContext attributes used in the course of HTTP request execution."
Mb name should be IClientNetwork?

ASP.NET has HttpContext class the purpose of which is different

How about

• IRestClient (or IRestService)
• IApiClient (or IApiService)

So in our projects we will have classes like WaiterApiClient, PrimeHillApiClient, Card5ApiClient, ExternalLoyaltyApiClient.

There's something interesting with an ApiClient naming because that's what it is: an API server and an API client.

Some info from the Internet:
What is an API Client?

1. An API client is a set of tools and protocols that operate from an application on a computer.
2. API Client API Client means the software that acts as the interface between Customer's computer and the server)means the software that acts as the interface between Customer's computer and the server.
3. An API client is a development tool that makes it easier for producers and consumers to explore, test, and debug APIs.
