+Cowboy GET Echo
+===============
+
+To compile this example you need rebar in your PATH.
+
+Type the following command:

+```
+
+You can then start the Erlang node with the following command:
+```
+./start.sh
+```
+
+Then point your browser to the indicated URL. You can change
+the GET parameter to check that the handler is echoing properly.
