Does anyone know a standard way to batch http requests? Meaning - sending multiple http atomic requests in one round trip?

If you're looking at REST based services or an API of some kind. There is some beginnings of a standard here http://www.odata.org/documentation/odata-version-3-0/batch-processing/

And an implementation by Google here https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/how-tos/batch
