Re: Connecting with an Azure server

Alan,

One thing that I find confusing is your use of the term "consume". It
seems to me that you are using it either inconsistently or backwards.

In the phrase "consume a web service", it is the client who is doing
the consuming. Whichever party is initiating a request is the client.
Whichever party is listening for incoming requests and sending
responses back is the server. The server is the one *providing* the
web service; the client is the one *consuming* it.

If you aren't confident that you can keep it straight, I recommend you
just talk in terms of client versus server, or initiating requests
versus responding to requests. That will reduce the chance for
confusion when you're talking with other people.
