cowboy
======
The `cowboy` module provides convenience functions for
manipulating Ranch listeners.
Types
-----
### http_headers() = [{binary(), iodata()}]
> HTTP headers as a list of key/values.
### http_status() = non_neg_integer() | binary()
> HTTP status.
>
> A binary status can be used to set a custom message.
### http_version() = 'HTTP/1.1' | 'HTTP/1.0'
> HTTP version.
### onrequest_fun() = fun((cowboy_req:req()) -> cowboy_req:req())
> Fun called immediately after receiving a request.
>
> It can perform any operation on the `Req` object, including
> reading the request body or replying. If a reply is sent,
> the processing of the request ends here, before any middleware
> is executed.
### onresponse_fun() = fun((http_status(), http_headers(),
iodata(), cowboy_req:req()) -> cowboy_req:req())
> Fun called immediately before sending the response.
>
> It can perform any operation on the `Req` object, including
> reading the request body or replying. If a reply is sent, it
> overrides the reply initially sent. The callback will not be
> called again for the new reply.
Exports
-------
### start_http(Ref, NbAcceptors, TransOpts, ProtoOpts) -> {ok, pid()}
> Types:
> * Ref = ranch:ref()
> * NbAcceptors = non_neg_integer()
> * TransOpts = ranch_tcp:opts()
> * ProtoOpts = cowboy_protocol:opts()
>
> Start listening for HTTP connections. Returns the pid for this
> listener's supervisor.
### start_https(Ref, NbAcceptors, TransOpts, ProtoOpts) -> {ok, pid()}
> Types:
> * Ref = ranch:ref()
> * NbAcceptors = non_neg_integer()
> * TransOpts = ranch_ssl:opts()
> * ProtoOpts = cowboy_protocol:opts()
>
> Start listening for HTTPS connections. Returns the pid for this
> listener's supervisor.
### start_spdy(Ref, NbAcceptors, TransOpts, ProtoOpts) -> {ok, pid()}
> Types:
> * Ref = ranch:ref()
> * NbAcceptors = non_neg_integer()
> * TransOpts = ranch_ssl:opts()
> * ProtoOpts = cowboy_spdy:opts()
>
> Start listening for SPDY connections. Returns the pid for this
> listener's supervisor.
### stop_listener(Ref) -> ok
> Types:
> * Ref = ranch:ref()
>
> Stop a previously started listener.
### set_env(Ref, Name, Value) -> ok
> Types:
> * Ref = ranch:ref()
> * Name = atom()
> * Value = any()
>
> Set or update an environment value for an already running listener.
> This will take effect on all subsequent connections.
