+Configuration for the HTTP/1.1 protocol.
+
+This configuration is passed to Cowboy when starting listeners
+using `cowboy:start_clear/4` or `cowboy:start_tls/4` functions.
+
+It can be updated without restarting listeners using the
+Ranch functions `ranch:get_protocol_options/1` and
+`ranch:set_protocol_options/2`.
+
+=== Option descriptions
+
+The default value is given next to the option name.
+
+env (#{})::
+ Middleware environment.
+
+max_empty_lines (5)::
+ Maximum number of empty lines before a request.
+
+max_header_name_length (64)::
+ Maximum length of header names.
+
+max_header_value_length (4096)::
+ Maximum length of header values.
+
+max_headers (100)::
+ Maximum number of headers allowed per request.
+
+max_keepalive (100)::
+ Maximum number of requests allowed per connection.

+
+== Changelog
+
+* *2.0*: The `max_method_length` option was added.
