GET parameter echo example
==========================

To try this example, you need GNU `make`, `git` and
[relx](https://github.com/erlware/relx) in your PATH.

To build the example, run the following command:

``` bash
$ make
```

To start the release in the foreground:

``` bash
$ ./_rel/bin/get_echo_example console
```

Then point your browser at
[http://localhost:8080/?echo=hello](http://localhost:8080/?echo=hello).
You can replace the `echo` parameter with another to check
that the handler is echoing it back properly.

$ curl -i "http://localhost:8080/?echo=saymyname"
