So based on this message and the one where you detail SIF messages, a 
server merely acts as a gatekeeper - when a request comes in from app A, 
the server checks it's registrations to see which app provides that 
info. If app B is registered as the provider, does this mean that the 
server merely tells app A where to find the info, or does the server 
request the data from app B and then resend it to app A?
