OSID - osid.transport.OutboundMessageSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.transport.OutboundMessageSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session provides access to a request/response protocol provider. The data and format of the requests and responses are identified through their respective `Types.` While this session is used for structured conversations, it doesn't preclude the use of byte streams as part of a `Request` or `Response.` A `Request` is retrieved via `getRequest()` and data is supplied to its corresponding record. The `Request` is then sent using `sendRequest()` along with an interface to be called when the `Response` arrives. The FSM of the protocol is indicated through the available `Request` `Types` that may change from one transaction to another. While multiple requests may be submitted before receiving a response, the requests may or may not be queued.
