Is there a normalized way to send request execution duration in HTTP Headers?

I believe everything is in the question !

Proposals : - "Execution Duration" - "Exec Time"

There is no standard HTTP request header for a client to request the maximum time that a request can run for, or a standard HTTP response header for a server to specify how long a request took to run. In the latter case, the best you could do with standard headers is subtract the date/time of the request Date header from the date/time of the response Date header.

If you are implementing your own HTTP server, you can certainly create your own custom X-... header(s) for handling durations, but that would not be standard behavior, and only custom clients that support your header(s) would be able to utilize them.
