+> Configuration for the HTTP protocol handler.
+>
+> This configuration is passed to Cowboy when starting listeners
+> using `cowboy:start_http/4` or `cowboy:start_https/4` functions.
+>
+> It can be updated without restarting listeners using the
+> Ranch functions `ranch:get_protocol_options/1` and
+> `ranch:set_protocol_options/2`.
