If a client tries to send some **extra cookies**, they will receive an **error** response.

Poor cookie banners with all their effort to get your consent for the <abbr title="This is another joke. Don't pay attention to me. Have some coffee for your cookie. ☕">API to reject it</abbr>. 🍪

When you need to send data from a client (let's say, a browser) to your API, you send it as a **request body**.

A **request** body is data sent by the client to your API. A **response** body is the data your API sends to the client.

Your API almost always has to send a **response** body. But clients don't necessarily need to send **request bodies** all the time, sometimes they only request a path, maybe with some query parameters, but don't send a body.

// start - starts separate goroutine for each TCP listener.  A valid new connection is passed to httpListener.acceptCh.
func (listener *httpListener) start() {
	// Closure to send acceptResult to acceptCh.
	// It returns true if the result is sent else false if returns when doneCh is closed.
	send := func(result acceptResult) bool {
		select {
		case listener.acceptCh <- result:
			// Successfully written to acceptCh
			return true

The user of your API (an external developer) will create an invoice in your API with a POST request.

Then your API will (let's imagine):

* Send the invoice to some customer of the external developer.
* Collect the money.
* Send a notification back to the API user (the external developer).
