It sounds a bit awkward. Assuming you are using HTTP and asking the
server to perform a service on your behalf then it should return OK
meaning "I got this and I'll take care of it". The server's
interaction with some other party is not your concern at that point. I
mean, I guess you could just hang up on the server after your request
but I'm not sure how you know that the server is in the state of "yes,
I got that and I'll take care of it".
