How to say "serve" in "The server serves the request"?


In the computers field, a server **serves** a request (ex: web server).

How to express that in Japanese?

English example documentation for a method that serves a request:

[code]

    /**
     * Serve the request.
     */
    public Response serve(Request request)
    
[/code]

I want to translate that documentation to Japanese, so I write `リクエストを____`




I doubt there is a direct equivalent. If you don't mind rephrasing it, you can
use:

  * 配信する (to distribute)
  * 応答する (to respond)
  * 処理する (to process)

But in programming contexts, just using サーブする is also a good idea. There is no
good kanji word for _server_ , after all.

**EDIT:** The reason why _serve_ is difficult to translate literally is
because one can say both "serve a request" (the object is something coming
into the server) and "serve a file" (the object is something going out of the
server). 応答 and 処理 are close to the former sense, and 配信 is close to the
latter sense. I think サーブする covers both meanings.
