Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-285:
-----------------------------------

> Isn't this a backwards incompatible change?

Good point.

So maybe the change should be that, when:
 - the message response type is null
 - no message errors are specified
 - the previously-non-standard socket transport is used
 - a connection has been established with a handshake, and
 - "one-way": true is specified (which existing implementations should ignore)
then no response data is written at all.

In other words, one-way only has a special meaning for stateful transports, and 
previously the spec defined no stateful transports.  For "stateless" transports 
like HTTP, one-way is ignored.
