+Cowboy Hello World
+==================
+
+To compile this example you need rebar in your PATH.
+
+Type the following command:
+```
+$ rebar get-deps compile
+```
+
+You can then start the Erlang node with the following command:
+```
+./start.sh
+```
+
+Then point your browser to the indicated URL. You will need to temporarily
+trust the root certificate authority in `priv/ssl/cowboy-ca.crt`.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+``` bash
+$ curl --cacert priv/ssl/cowboy-ca.crt -i https://localhost:8443
+HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+connection: keep-alive
