Abstract
Upon receiving a request from a communications terminal, a server apparatus performs some processes and returns processing results to the communications terminal. Before returning the processing results, the server apparatus sends the communications terminal a response containing an address needed to acquire the processing results to prevent communications from being cut off due to a communications timeout which occurs, for example, if the processing on the server takes time.
