Think about what this routine is used for.
It means
       "send a request, and wait for the answer".

In other words, the client has sent a request, but the answer
hasn't arrived yet (and the request hasn't timed out).   So the
routine blocks, waiting for the response to be received.
    Which is exactly what the routine is meant to do.

This is working according to spec.
