2.0 (R17 and R18)
-----------------
- * HTTP/2.0
+The main features that will be added to Cowboy 2.0 are support
+for HTTP/2.0 and Websocket permessage deflate compression.
- * Websocket permessage deflate compression
+A complete analysis of the httpbis set of specifications
+will be performed and extensive tests will be written to
+ensure maximum compatibility.
- * Better cowboy_req usability
+A number of backward incompatible changes are planned. These
+changes are individually small, but together should result
+in a large improvement in usability.
- The number one usability concern with Cowboy today is
- the need to keep the Req object. Most functions in
- cowboy_req don't actually modify it and probably never
- will. This change will make sure that only the required
- function return a new Req.
+### cowboy_req
- At the same time, some of the functions that cache their
- results will stop to do so. This will save memory and
- allow us to not modify the Req.
+The interface of `cowboy_req` will be largely changed. The
+number one complaint about Cowboy today is that you have
+to keep track of the Req whenever you do anything. The new
+interface will minimize that.
- * Start experimenting with maps.
+All functions will return a single term, excluding the body
+reading functions `body/{1,2}`, `body_qs/{1,2}`, `part/{1,2}`,
+`part_body/{1,2}`.
+
+Of the functions returning a single term, some of them will
+return a Req object. This includes the functions that already
+return Req: `compact/1`, `delete_resp_header/2`, `set_meta/3`,
+`set_resp_body/2`, `set_resp_body_fun/{2,3}`, `set_resp_cookie/4`,
+`set_resp_header/3`, and adds the `chunked_reply/{2,3}` and
+`reply/{2,3,4}` functions to the list.
+
+Of note is that this will allow chaining all the response
+functions if that's what you fancy.
+
+The `parse_header/{2,3}` function will now only return the
+parsed header value, and crash on error. It will also not
+cache the parsed value anymore, except for headers that Cowboy
+requires, like the connection header.
+
+It is unsure what will become of the `qs_val`, `qs_vals`,
+`cookie` and `cookies` functions. The main idea at this point
+is to replace them with a `parse_qs/2` and `parse_cookies/2`
+that would return the parsed list, and let the user decide
+how to access it.
+
+### init/terminate unification
+
+The first argument of the `init/3` function is too rarely used.
+It will be removed.
+
+The return value of the `init/2` function will become
+`{http, Req, State} | {loop, Req, State} | {Module, Req, State}`
+with `Module` being `cowboy_rest`, `cowboy_websocket` or a
+user provided module.
+
+The `rest_init` and `websocket_init` callbacks will be removed
+as they become unnecessary with the new `init/2` interface.
+
+Similarly, the `rest_terminate` and `websocket_terminate`
+callbacks will be removed in favor of a unified `terminate/3`.
+
+The `terminate/3` callback will become optional.
+
+### Hooks
+
+The `onrequest` hook will be removed. It can easily be replaced
+by a middleware.
+
+The interface of the `onresponse` hook will change. There has
+been a number of issues and added complexity with the current
+interface that warrant fixing. The main problem is that the
+hook may be used to change the reply, by calling the reply
+function again, forcing us to be careful not to reprocess
+everything again.
+
+To fix that, we will cut the reply mechanism in two steps,
+one that is basically some preprocessing of the response
+header to follow the protocol requirements, and then the
+actual response. The `onresponse` hook will fit in the
+middle, being called from the first step and calling the
+second step itself.
+
+If a body streaming function is provided, the hook will
+also receive it (unlike today). It will not be able to
+inspect its contents however.
+
+This should greatly simplify the code and allow users to
+do any operation they wish.
+
+### Low-level interface documented
+
+A special chapter of the manual will document a low-level
+interface that may be used in middlewares or hooks (but
+nowhere else). This includes the Req access and update
+functions and the new response function described above.
+
+### REST
+
+The `known_content_type` callback has no purpose, so it
+is going to be removed.
+
+The documentation for all REST callbacks will be updated
+to describe whether they can have side effects. This will
+allows us to build introspection tools on top of a working
+REST API.
+
+Range support will be added.

+::: Designing a resource handler
+
+This chapter aims to provide you with a list of questions
+you must answer in order to write a good resource handler.
+It is meant to be usable as a step by step guide.
+
+:: The service
+
+Can the service become unavailable, and when it does, can
+we detect it? For example database connectivity problems
+may be detected early. We may also have planned outages
+of all or parts of the system. Implement the
+`service_available` callback.
+
+What HTTP methods does the service implement? Do we need
+more than the standard OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, PUT, POST,
+PATCH and DELETE? Are we not using one of those at all?
+Implement the `known_methods` callback.
+
+:: Type of resource handler
+
+Am I writing a handler for a collection of resources,
+or for a single resource?
+
+The semantics for each of these are quite different.
+You should not mix collection and single resource in
+the same handler.
+
+:: Collection handler
+
+Skip this section if you are not doing a collection.
+
+Is the collection hardcoded or dynamic? For example
+if you use the route `/users` for the collection of
+users then the collection is hardcoded; if you use
+`/forums/:category` for the collection of threads
+then it isn't. When the collection is hardcoded you
+can safely assume the resource always exists.
+
+What methods should I implement?
+
+OPTIONS is used to get some information about the
+collection. It is recommended to allow it even if you
+do not implement it, as Cowboy has a default
+implementation built-in.
+
+HEAD and GET are used to retrieve the collection.
+If you allow GET, also allow HEAD as there's no extra
+work required to make it work.
+
+POST is used to create a new resource inside the
+collection. Creating a resource by using POST on
+the collection is useful when resources may be
+created before knowing their URI, usually because
+parts of it are generated dynamically. A common
+case is some kind of auto incremented integer
+identifier.
+
+The next methods are more rarely allowed.
+
+PUT is used to create a new collection (when
+the collection isn't hardcoded), or replace
+the entire collection.
+
+DELETE is used to delete the entire collection.
+
+PATCH is used to modify the collection using
+instructions given in the request body. A PATCH
+operation is atomic. The PATCH operation may
+be used for such things as reordering; adding,
+modifying or deleting parts of the collection.
+
+:: Single resource handler
+
+Skip this section if you are doing a collection.
+
+What methods should I implement?
+
+OPTIONS is used to get some information about the
+resource. It is recommended to allow it even if you
+do not implement it, as Cowboy has a default
+implementation built-in.
+
+HEAD and GET are used to retrieve the resource.
+If you allow GET, also allow HEAD as there's no extra
+work required to make it work.
+
+POST is used to update the resource.
+
+PUT is used to create a new resource (when it doesn't
+already exist) or replace the resource.
+
+DELETE is used to delete the resource.
+
+PATCH is used to modify the resource using
+instructions given in the request body. A PATCH
+operation is atomic. The PATCH operation may
+be used for adding, removing or modifying specific
+values in the resource.
+
+:: The resource
+
+Following the above discussion, implement the
+`allowed_methods` callback.
+
+Does the resource always exist? If it may not, implement
+the `resource_exists` callback.
+
+Do I need to authenticate the client before they can
+access the resource? What authentication mechanisms
+should I provide? This may include form-based, token-based
+(in the URL or a cookie), HTTP basic, HTTP digest,
+SSL certificate or any other form of authentication.
+Implement the `is_authorized` callback.
+
+Do I need fine-grained access control? How do I determine
+that they are authorized access? Handle that in your
+`is_authorized` callback.
+
+Can access to a resource be forbidden regardless of access
+being authorized? A simple example of that is censorship
+of a resource. Implement the `forbidden` callback.
+
+Is there any constraints on the length of the resource URI?
+For example the URI may be used as a key in storage and may
+have a limit in length. Implement `uri_too_long`.
+
+:: Representations
+
+What media types do I provide? If text based, what charsets
+are provided? What languages do I provide?
+
+Implement the mandatory `content_types_provided`. Prefix
+the callbacks with `to_` for clarity. For example `to_html`
+or `to_text`.
+
+Implement the `languages_provided` or `charsets_provided`
+callbacks if applicable.
+
+Is there any other header that may make the representation
+of the resource vary? Implement the `variances` callback.
+
+Depending on your choices for caching content, you may
+want to implement one or more of the `generate_etag`,
+`last_modified` and `expires` callbacks.
+
+Do I want the user or user agent to actively choose a
+representation available? Send a list of available
+representations in the response body and implement
+the `multiple_choices` callback.
+
+:: Redirections
+
+Do I need to keep track of what resources were deleted?
+For example you may have a mechanism where moving a
+resource leaves a redirect link to its new location.
+Implement the `previously_existed` callback.
+
+Was the resource moved, and is the move temporary? If
+it is explicitly temporary, for example due to maintenance,
+implement the `moved_temporarily` callback. Otherwise,
+implement the `moved_permanently` callback.
+
+:: The request
+
+Do we need to perform extra checks to make sure the request
+is valid? Cowboy will do many checks when receiving the
+request already, do we need more? Note that this only
+applies to the request-line and headers of the request,
+and not the body. Implement `malformed_request`.
+
+May there be a request body? Will I know its size?
+What's the maximum size of the request body I'm willing
+to accept? Implement `valid_entity_length`.
+
+Finally, take a look at the sections corresponding to the
+methods you are implementing.
+
+:: OPTIONS method
+
+Cowboy by default will send back a list of allowed methods.
+Do I need to add more information to the response? Implement
+the `options` method.
+
+:: GET and HEAD methods
+
+If you implement the methods GET and/or HEAD, you must
+implement one `ProvideResource` callback for each
+content-type returned by the `content_types_provided`
+callback.
+
+:: PUT, POST and PATCH methods
+
+If you implement the methods PUT, POST and/or PATCH,
+you must implement the `content_types_accepted` callback,
+and one `AcceptResource` callback for each content-type
+it returns. Prefix the `AcceptResource` callback names
+with `from_` for clarity. For example `from_html` or
+`from_json`.
+
+Do we want to allow the POST method to create individual
+resources directly through their URI (like PUT)? Implement
+the `allow_missing_post` callback. It is recommended to
+explicitly use PUT in these cases instead.
+
+May there be conflicts when using PUT to create or replace
+a resource? Do we want to make sure that two updates around
+the same time are not cancelling one another? Implement the
+`is_conflict` callback.
+
+:: DELETE methods
+
+If you implement the method DELETE, you must implement
+the `delete_resource` callback.
+
+When `delete_resource` returns, is the resource completely
+removed from the server, including from any caching service?
+If not, and/or if the deletion is asynchronous and we have
+no way of knowing it has been completed yet, implement the
+`delete_completed` callback.

+::: cowboy_req
+
+The `cowboy_req` module provides functions to access, manipulate
+and respond to requests.
+
+The functions in this module follow patterns for their return types,
+based on the kind of function.
+
+* access: `{Value, Req}`
+* action: `{Result, Req} | {Result, Value, Req} | {error, atom()}`
+* modification: `Req`
+* question: `boolean()`
+
+The only exception is the `chunk/2` function which may return `ok`.
+
+Whenever `Req` is returned, you must use this returned value and
+ignore any previous you may have had. This value contains various
+state informations which are necessary for Cowboy to do some lazy
+evaluation or cache results where appropriate.
+
+All functions which perform an action should only be called once.
+This includes reading the request body or replying. Cowboy will
+generally throw an error on the second call.
+
+It is highly discouraged to pass the Req object to another process.
+Doing so and calling `cowboy_req` functions from it leads to
+undefined behavior.
+
+:: Types
+
+: body_opts() = [{continue, boolean()}
+ | {length, non_neg_integer()}
+ | {read_length, non_neg_integer()}
+ | {read_timeout, timeout()}
+ | {transfer_decode, transfer_decode_fun(), any()}
+ | {content_decode, content_decode_fun()}]
+
+Request body reading options.
+
+: cookie_opts() = [{max_age, non_neg_integer()}
+ | {domain, binary()} | {path, binary()}
+ | {secure, boolean()} | {http_only, boolean()}]
+
+Cookie options.
+
+: req() - opaque to the user
+
+The Req object.
+
+All functions in this module receive a `Req` as argument,
+and most of them return a new object labelled `Req2` in
+the function descriptions below.
+
+:: Request related exports
+
+: binding(Name, Req) -> binding(Name, Req, undefined)
+: binding(Name, Req, Default) -> {Value, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = atom()
+* Default = any()
+* Value = any() | Default
+
+Return the value for the given binding.
+
+By default the value is a binary, however constraints may change
+the type of this value (for example automatically converting
+numbers to integer).
+
+: bindings(Req) -> {[{Name, Value}], Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = atom()
+* Value = any()
+
+Return all bindings.
+
+By default the value is a binary, however constraints may change
+the type of this value (for example automatically converting
+numbers to integer).
+
+: cookie(Name, Req) -> cookie(Name, Req, undefined)
+: cookie(Name, Req, Default) -> {Value, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = binary()
+* Default = any()
+* Value = binary() | Default
+
+Return the value for the given cookie.
+
+Cookie names are case sensitive.
+
+: cookies(Req) -> {[{Name, Value}], Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = binary()
+* Value = binary()
+
+Return all cookies.
+
+: header(Name, Req) -> header(Name, Req, undefined)
+: header(Name, Req, Default) -> {Value, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = binary()
+* Default = any()
+* Value = binary() | Default
+
+Return the value for the given header.
+
+While header names are case insensitive, this function expects
+the name to be a lowercase binary.
+
+: headers(Req) -> {Headers, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Headers = cowboy:http_headers()
+
+Return all headers.
+
+: host(Req) -> {Host, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Host = binary()
+
+Return the requested host.
+
+: host_info(Req) -> {HostInfo, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* HostInfo = cowboy_router:tokens() | undefined
+
+Return the extra tokens from matching against `...` during routing.
+
+: host_url(Req) -> {HostURL, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* HostURL = binary() | undefined
+
+Return the requested URL excluding the path component.
+
+This function will always return `undefined` until the
+`cowboy_router` middleware has been executed. This includes
+the `onrequest` hook.
+
+: meta(Name, Req) -> meta(Name, Req, undefined)
+: meta(Name, Req, Default) -> {Value, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = atom()
+* Default = any()
+* Value = any()
+
+Return metadata about the request.
+
+: method(Req) -> {Method, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Method = binary()
+
+Return the method.
+
+Methods are case sensitive. Standard methods are always uppercase.
+
+: parse_header(Name, Req) ->
+: parse_header(Name, Req, Default) -> {ok, ParsedValue, Req2}
+ | {undefined, Value, Req2} | {error, badarg}
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = binary()
+* Default = any()
+* ParsedValue - see below
+* Value = any()
+
+Parse the given header.
+
+While header names are case insensitive, this function expects
+the name to be a lowercase binary.
+
+The `parse_header/2` function will call `parser_header/3` with a
+different default value depending on the header being parsed. The
+following table summarizes the default values used.
+
+|| Header name Default value
+|
+| transfer-encoding `[<<"identity">>]`
+| Any other header `undefined`
+
+The parsed value differs depending on the header being parsed. The
+following table summarizes the different types returned.
+
+|| Header name Type
+|
+| accept `[{{Type, SubType, Params}, Quality, AcceptExt}]`
+| accept-charset `[{Charset, Quality}]`
+| accept-encoding `[{Encoding, Quality}]`
+| accept-language `[{LanguageTag, Quality}]`
+| authorization `{AuthType, Credentials}`
+| content-length `non_neg_integer()`
+| content-type `{Type, SubType, ContentTypeParams}`
+| cookie `[{binary(), binary()}]`
+| expect `[Expect | {Expect, ExpectValue, Params}]`
+| if-match `'*' | [{weak | strong, OpaqueTag}]`
+| if-modified-since `calendar:datetime()`
+| if-none-match `'*' | [{weak | strong, OpaqueTag}]`
+| if-unmodified-since `calendar:datetime()`
+| range `{Unit, [Range]}`
+| sec-websocket-protocol `[binary()]`
+| transfer-encoding `[binary()]`
+| upgrade `[binary()]`
+| x-forwarded-for `[binary()]`
+
+Types for the above table:
+
+* Type = SubType = Charset = Encoding = LanguageTag = binary()
+* AuthType = Expect = OpaqueTag = Unit = binary()
+* Params = ContentTypeParams = [{binary(), binary()}]
+* Quality = 0..1000
+* AcceptExt = [{binary(), binary()} | binary()]
+* Credentials - see below
+* Range = {non_neg_integer(), non_neg_integer() | infinity} | neg_integer()
+
+The cookie names and values, the values of the sec-websocket-protocol
+and x-forwarded-for headers, the values in `AcceptExt` and `Params`,
+the authorization `Credentials`, the `ExpectValue` and `OpaqueTag`
+are case sensitive. All values in `ContentTypeParams` are case sensitive
+except the value of the charset parameter, which is case insensitive.
+All other values are case insensitive and will be returned as lowercase.
+
+The headers accept, accept-encoding and cookie headers can return
+an empty list. Others will return `{error, badarg}` if the header
+value is empty.
+
+The authorization header parsing code currently only supports basic
+HTTP authentication. The `Credentials` type is thus `{Username, Password}`
+with `Username` and `Password` being `binary()`.
+
+The range header value `Range` can take three forms:
+
+* `{From, To}`: from `From` to `To` units
+* `{From, infinity}`: everything after `From` units
+* `-Final`: the final `Final` units
+
+An `undefined` tuple will be returned if Cowboy doesn't know how
+to parse the requested header.
+
+: path(Req) -> {Path, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Path = binary()
+
+Return the requested path.
+
+: path_info(Req) -> {PathInfo, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* PathInfo = cowboy_router:tokens() | undefined
+
+Return the extra tokens from matching against `...` during routing.
+
+: peer(Req) -> {Peer, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Peer = {inet:ip_address(), inet:port_number()}
+
+Return the client's IP address and port number.
+
+: port(Req) -> {Port, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Port = inet:port_number()
+
+Return the request's port.
+
+The port returned by this function is obtained by parsing
+the host header. It may be different than the actual port
+the client used to connect to the Cowboy server.
+
+: qs(Req) -> {QueryString, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* QueryString = binary()
+
+Return the request's query string.
+
+: qs_val(Name, Req) -> qs_val(Name, Req, undefined)
+: qs_val(Name, Req, Default) -> {Value, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = binary()
+* Default = any()
+* Value = binary() | true
+
+Return a value from the request's query string.
+
+The value `true` will be returned when the name was found
+in the query string without an associated value.
+
+: qs_vals(Req) -> {[{Name, Value}], Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = binary()
+* Value = binary() | true
+
+Return the request's query string as a list of tuples.
+
+The value `true` will be returned when a name was found
+in the query string without an associated value.
+
+: set_meta(Name, Value, Req) -> Req2
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = atom()
+* Value = any()
+
+Set metadata about the request.
+
+An existing value will be overwritten.
+
+: url(Req) -> {URL, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* URL = binary() | undefined
+
+Return the requested URL.
+
+This function will always return `undefined` until the
+`cowboy_router` middleware has been executed. This includes
+the `onrequest` hook.
+
+: version(Req) -> {Version, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Version = cowboy:http_version()
+
+Return the HTTP version used for this request.
+
+:: Request body related exports
+
+: body(Req) -> body(Req, [])
+: body(Req, Opts) -> {ok, Data, Req2} | {more, Data, Req2} | {error, Reason}
+
+Types:
+
+* Opts = [body_opt()]
+* Data = binary()
+* Reason = atom()
+
+Read the request body.
+
+This function will read a chunk of the request body. If there is
+more data to be read after this function call, then a `more` tuple
+is returned. Otherwise an `ok` tuple is returned.
+
+Cowboy will automatically send a `100 Continue` reply if
+required. If this behavior is not desirable, it can be disabled
+by setting the `continue` option to `false`.
+
+Cowboy will by default attempt to read up to 8MB of the body,
+but in chunks of 1MB. It will use a timeout of 15s per chunk.
+All these values can be changed using the `length`, `read_length`
+and `read_timeout` options respectively. Note that the size
+of the data may not be the same as requested as the decoding
+functions may grow or shrink it, and Cowboy makes not attempt
+at returning an exact amount.
+
+Cowboy will properly handle chunked transfer-encoding by
+default. If any other transfer-encoding or content-encoding
+has been used for the request, custom decoding functions
+can be used. The `content_decode` and `transfer_decode`
+options allow setting the decode functions manually.
+
+After the body has been streamed fully, Cowboy will remove
+the transfer-encoding header from the Req object, and add
+the content-length header if it wasn't already there.
+
+This function can only be called once. Cowboy will not cache
+the result of this call.
+
+: body_length(Req) -> {Length, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Length = non_neg_integer() | undefined
+
+Return the length of the request body.
+
+The length will only be returned if the request does not
+use any transfer-encoding and if the content-length header
+is present.
+
+: body_qs(Req) -> body_qs(Req,
+ [{length, 64000}, {read_length, 64000}, {read_timeout, 5000}])
+: body_qs(Req, Opts) -> {ok, [{Name, Value}], Req2}
+ | {badlength, Req2} | {error, Reason}
+
+Types:
+
+* Opts = [body_opt()]
+* Name = binary()
+* Value = binary() | true
+* Reason = chunked | badlength | atom()
+
+Return the request body as a list of tuples.
+
+This function will parse the body assuming the content-type
+application/x-www-form-urlencoded, commonly used for the
+query string.
+
+This function calls `body/2` for reading the body, with the
+same options it received. By default it will attempt to read
+a body of 64KB in one chunk, with a timeout of 5s. If the
+body is larger then a `badlength` tuple is returned.
+
+This function can only be called once. Cowboy will not cache
+the result of this call.
+
+: has_body(Req) -> boolean()
+
+Return whether the request has a body.
+
+: part(Req) -> part(Req,
+ [{length, 64000}, {read_length, 64000}, {read_timeout, 5000}])
+: part(Req, Opts) -> {ok, Headers, Req2} | {done, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Opts = [body_opt()]
+* Headers = cow_multipart:headers()
+
+Read the headers for the next part of the multipart message.
+
+Cowboy will skip any data remaining until the beginning of
+the next part. This includes the preamble to the multipart
+message but also the body of a previous part if it hasn't
+been read. Both are skipped automatically when calling this
+function.
+
+The headers returned are MIME headers, NOT HTTP headers.
+They can be parsed using the functions from the `cow_multipart`
+module. In addition, the `cow_multipart:form_data/1` function
+can be used to quickly figure out `multipart/form-data` messages.
+It takes the list of headers and returns whether this part is
+a simple form field or a file being uploaded.
+
+Note that once a part has been read, or skipped, it cannot
+be read again.
+
+This function calls `body/2` for reading the body, with the
+same options it received. By default it will only read chunks
+of 64KB with a timeout of 5s. This is tailored for reading
+part headers, not for skipping the previous part's body.
+You might want to consider skipping large parts manually.
+
+: part_body(Req) -> part_body(Req, [])
+: part_body(Req, Opts) -> {ok, Data, Req2} | {more, Data, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* Opts = [body_opt()]
+* Data = binary()
+
+Read the body of the current part of the multipart message.
+
+This function calls `body/2` for reading the body, with the
+same options it received. It uses the same defaults.
+
+If there are more data to be read from the socket for this
+part, the function will return what it could read inside a
+`more` tuple. Otherwise, it will return an `ok` tuple.
+
+Calling this function again after receiving a `more` tuple
+will return another chunk of body. The last chunk will be
+returned inside an `ok` tuple.
+
+Note that once the body has been read, fully or partially,
+it cannot be read again.
+
+:: Response related exports
+
+: chunk(Data, Req) -> ok | {error, Reason}
+
+Types:
+
+* Data = iodata()
+* Reason = atom()
+
+Send a chunk of data.
+
+This function should be called as many times as needed
+to send data chunks after calling `chunked_reply/{2,3}`.
+
+When the method is HEAD, no data will actually be sent.
+
+If the request uses HTTP/1.0, the data is sent directly
+without wrapping it in an HTTP/1.1 chunk, providing
+compatibility with older clients.
+
+: chunked_reply(StatusCode, Req) -> chunked_reply(StatusCode, [], Req)
+: chunked_reply(StatusCode, Headers, Req) -> {ok, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* StatusCode = cowboy:http_status()
+* Headers = cowboy:http_headers()
+
+Send a response using chunked transfer-encoding.
+
+This function effectively sends the response status line
+and headers to the client.
+
+This function will not send any body set previously. After
+this call the handler must use the `chunk/2` function
+repeatedly to send the body in as many chunks as needed.
+
+If the request uses HTTP/1.0, the data is sent directly
+without wrapping it in an HTTP/1.1 chunk, providing
+compatibility with older clients.
+
+This function can only be called once, with the exception
+of overriding the response in the `onresponse` hook.
+
+: continue(Req) -> ok | {error, Reason}
+
+Types:
+
+* Reason = atom()
+
+Send a 100 Continue intermediate reply.
+
+This reply is required before the client starts sending the
+body when the request contains the `expect` header with the
+`100-continue` value.
+
+Cowboy will send this automatically when required. However
+you may want to do it manually by disabling this behavior
+with the `continue` body option and then calling this
+function.
+
+: delete_resp_header(Name, Req) -> Req2
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = binary()
+
+Delete the given response header.
+
+While header names are case insensitive, this function expects
+the name to be a lowercase binary.
+
+: has_resp_body(Req) -> boolean()
+
+Return whether a response body has been set.
+
+This function will return false if a response body has
+been set with a length of 0.
+
+: has_resp_header(Name, Req) -> boolean()
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = binary()
+
+Return whether the given response header has been set.
+
+While header names are case insensitive, this function expects
+the name to be a lowercase binary.
+
+: reply(StatusCode, Req) -> reply(StatusCode, [], Req)
+: reply(StatusCode, Headers, Req) - see below
+: reply(StatusCode, Headers, Body, Req) -> {ok, Req2}
+
+Types:
+
+* StatusCode = cowboy:http_status()
+* Headers = cowboy:http_headers()
+* Body = iodata()
+
+Send a response.
+
+This function effectively sends the response status line,
+headers and body to the client, in a single send function
+call.
+
+The `reply/2` and `reply/3` functions will send the body
+set previously, if any. The `reply/4` function overrides
+any body set previously and sends `Body` instead.
+
+If a body function was set, and `reply/2` or `reply/3` was
+used, it will be called before returning.
+
+No more data can be sent to the client after this function
+returns.
+
+This function can only be called once, with the exception
+of overriding the response in the `onresponse` hook.
+
+: set_resp_body(Body, Req) -> Req2
+
+Types:
+
+* Body = iodata()
+
+Set a response body.
+
+This body will not be sent if `chunked_reply/{2,3}` or
+`reply/4` is used, as they override it.
+
+: set_resp_body_fun(Fun, Req) -> Req2
+: set_resp_body_fun(Length, Fun, Req) -> Req2
+
+Types:
+
+* Fun = fun((Socket, Transport) -> ok)
+* Socket = inet:socket()
+* Transport = module()
+* Length = non_neg_integer()
+
+Set a fun for sending the response body.
+
+If a `Length` is provided, it will be sent in the
+content-length header in the response. It is recommended
+to set the length if it can be known in advance. Otherwise,
+the transfer-encoding header will be set to identity.
+
+This function will only be called if the response is sent
+using the `reply/2` or `reply/3` function.
+
+The fun will receive the Ranch `Socket` and `Transport` as
+arguments. Only send and sendfile operations are supported.
+
+: set_resp_body_fun(chunked, Fun, Req) -> Req2
+
+Types:
+
+* Fun = fun((ChunkFun) -> ok)
+* ChunkFun = fun((iodata()) -> ok | {error, atom()})
+
+Set a fun for sending the response body using chunked transfer-encoding.
+
+This function will only be called if the response is sent
+using the `reply/2` or `reply/3` function.
+
+The fun will receive another fun as argument. This fun is to
+be used to send chunks in a similar way to the `chunk/2` function,
+except the fun only takes one argument, the data to be sent in
+the chunk.
+
+: set_resp_cookie(Name, Value, Opts, Req) -> Req2
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = iodata()
+* Value = iodata()
+* Opts = cookie_opts()
+
+Set a cookie in the response.
+
+Cookie names are case sensitive.
+
+: set_resp_header(Name, Value, Req) -> Req2
+
+Types:
+
+* Name = binary()
+* Value = iodata()
+
+Set a response header.
+
+You should use `set_resp_cookie/4` instead of this function
+to set cookies.
+
+:: Misc. exports
+
+: compact(Req) -> Req2
+
+Remove any non-essential data from the Req object.
+
+Long-lived connections usually only need to manipulate the
+Req object at initialization. Compacting allows saving up
+memory by discarding extraneous information.

+
+The `cowboy_rest` module implements REST semantics on top of
+the HTTP protocol.
+
+This module cannot be described as a behaviour due to most of
+the callbacks it defines being optional. It has the same
+semantics as a behaviour otherwise.
+
+The only mandatory callback is `init/3`, needed to perform
+the protocol upgrade.
+
+:: Types
+
+None.
+
+:: Meta values
+
+: charset
+
+Type: binary()
+
+Negotiated charset.
+
+This value may not be defined if no charset was negotiated.
+
+: language
+
+Type: binary()
+
+Negotiated language.
+
+This value may not be defined if no language was negotiated.
+
+: media_type
+
+Type: {binary(), binary(), '*' | [{binary(), binary()}]}
+
+Negotiated media-type.
+
+The media-type is the content-type, excluding the charset.
+
+This value is always defined after the call to
+`content_types_provided/2`.
+
+:: Callbacks
+

+ -> {upgrade, protocol, cowboy_rest}
+ | {upgrade, protocol, cowboy_rest, Req, Opts}
+
+Types:
+
+* TransportName = tcp | ssl | atom()
+* ProtocolName = http | atom()
+* Req = cowboy_req:req()
+* Opts = any()
+
+Upgrade the protocol to `cowboy_rest`.
+
+This is the only mandatory callback.
+
+: rest_init(Req, Opts) -> {ok, Req, State}
+
+Types:
+
+* Req = cowboy_req:req()
+* Opts = any()
+* State = any()
+
+Initialize the state for this request.
+
+: rest_terminate(Req, State) -> ok
+
+Types:
+
+* Req = cowboy_req:req()
+* State = any()
+
+Perform any necessary cleanup of the state.
+
+This callback should release any resource currently in use,
+clear any active timer and reset the process to its original
+state, as it might be reused for future requests sent on the
+same connection.
+
+: Callback(Req, State) -> {Value, Req, State} | {halt, Req, State}
+
+Types:
+
+* Callback - one of the REST callbacks described below
+* Req = cowboy_req:req()
+* State = any()
+* Value - see the REST callbacks description below
+
+Please see the REST callbacks description below for details
+on the `Value` type, the default value if the callback is
+not defined, and more general information on when the
+callback is called and what its intended use is.
+
+The `halt` tuple can be returned to stop REST processing.
+It is up to the resource code to send a reply before that,
+otherwise a `204 No Content` will be sent.
+
+:: REST callbacks description
+
+: allowed_methods
+
+* Methods: all
+* Value type: [binary()]
+* Default value: [<<"GET">>, <<"HEAD">>, <<"OPTIONS">>]
+
+Return the list of allowed methods.
+
+Methods are case sensitive. Standard methods are always uppercase.
+
+: allow_missing_post
+
+* Methods: POST
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: true
+
+Return whether POST is allowed when the resource doesn't exist.
+
+Returning `true` here means that a new resource will be
+created. The URL to the created resource should also be
+returned from the `AcceptResource` callback.
+
+: charsets_provided
+

+* Value type: [binary()]
+* Skip to the next step if undefined
+
+Return the list of charsets the resource provides.
+
+The list must be ordered in order of preference.
+
+If the accept-charset header was not sent, the first charset
+in the list will be selected. Otherwise Cowboy will select
+the most appropriate charset from the list.
+
+The chosen charset will be set in the `Req` object as the meta
+value `charset`.
+
+While charsets are case insensitive, this callback is expected
+to return them as lowercase binary.
+
+: content_types_accepted
+
+* Methods: POST, PUT, PATCH
+* No default
+
+Types:
+
+* Value = [{binary() | {Type, SubType, Params}, AcceptResource}]
+* Type = SubType = binary()
+* Params = '*' | [{binary(), binary()}]
+* AcceptResource = atom()
+
+Return the list of content-types the resource accepts.
+
+The list must be ordered in order of preference.
+
+Each content-type can be given either as a binary string or as
+a tuple containing the type, subtype and parameters.
+
+Cowboy will select the most appropriate content-type from the list.
+If any parameter is acceptable, then the tuple form should be used
+with parameters set to `'*'`. If the parameters value is set to `[]`
+only content-type values with no parameters will be accepted. All
+parameter values are treated in a case sensitive manner except the
+`charset` parameter, if present, which is case insensitive.
+
+This function will be called for POST, PUT and PATCH requests.
+It is entirely possible to define different callbacks for different
+methods if the handling of the request differs. Simply verify
+what the method is with `cowboy_req:method/1` and return a
+different list for each methods.
+
+The `AcceptResource` value is the name of the callback that will
+be called if the content-type matches. It is defined as follow.
+
+* Value type: true | {true, URL} | false
+* No default
+
+Process the request body.
+
+This function should create or update the resource with the
+information contained in the request body. This information
+may be full or partial depending on the request method.
+
+If the request body was processed successfully, `true` or
+`{true, URL}` may be returned. If an URL is provided, the
+response will redirect the client to the location of the
+resource.
+
+If a response body must be sent, the appropriate media-type, charset
+and language can be retrieved using the `cowboy_req:meta/{2,3}`
+functions. The respective keys are `media_type`, `charset`
+and `language`. The body can be set using `cowboy_req:set_resp_body/2`.
+
+: content_types_provided
+
+* Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
+* Default value: [{{<<"text">>, <<"html">>, '*'}, to_html}]
+
+Types:
+
+* Value = [{binary() | {Type, SubType, Params}, ProvideResource}]
+* Type = SubType = binary()
+* Params = '*' | [{binary(), binary()}]
+* ProvideResource = atom()
+
+Return the list of content-types the resource provides.
+
+The list must be ordered in order of preference.
+
+Each content-type can be given either as a binary string or as
+a tuple containing the type, subtype and parameters.
+
+Cowboy will select the most appropriate content-type from the list.
+If any parameter is acceptable, then the tuple form should be used
+with parameters set to `'*'`. If the parameters value is set to `[]`
+only content-type values with no parameters will be accepted. All
+parameter values are treated in a case sensitive manner except the
+`charset` parameter, if present, which is case insensitive.
+
+The `ProvideResource` value is the name of the callback that will
+be called if the content-type matches. It will only be called when
+a representation of the resource needs to be returned. It is defined
+as follow.
+
+* Methods: GET, HEAD
+* Value type: iodata() | {stream, Fun} | {stream, Len, Fun} | {chunked, ChunkedFun}
+* No default
+
+Return the response body.
+
+The response body may be provided directly or through a fun.
+If a fun tuple is returned, the appropriate `set_resp_body_fun`
+function will be called. Please refer to the documentation for
+these functions for more information about the types.
+
+The call to this callback happens a good time after the call to
+`content_types_provided/2`, when it is time to start rendering
+the response body.
+
+: delete_completed
+
+* Methods: DELETE
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: true
+
+Return whether the delete action has been completed.
+
+This function should return `false` if there is no guarantee
+that the resource gets deleted immediately from the system,
+including from any internal cache.
+
+When this function returns `false`, a `202 Accepted`
+response will be sent instead of a `200 OK` or `204 No Content`.
+
+: delete_resource
+
+* Methods: DELETE
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: false
+
+Delete the resource.
+
+The value returned indicates if the action was successful,
+regardless of whether the resource is immediately deleted
+from the system.
+
+: expires
+
+* Methods: GET, HEAD
+* Value type: calendar:datetime() | binary() | undefined
+* Default value: undefined
+
+Return the date of expiration of the resource.
+
+This date will be sent as the value of the expires header.
+
+: forbidden
+
+* Methods: all
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: false
+
+Return whether access to the resource is forbidden.
+
+A `403 Forbidden` response will be sent if this
+function returns `true`. This status code means that
+access is forbidden regardless of authentication,
+and that the request shouldn't be repeated.
+
+: generate_etag
+
+* Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
+* Value type: binary() | {weak | strong, binary()}
+* Default value: undefined
+
+Return the entity tag of the resource.
+
+This value will be sent as the value of the etag header.
+
+If a binary is returned, then the value will be parsed
+to the tuple form automatically. The value must be in
+the same format as the etag header, including quotes.
+
+: is_authorized
+
+* Methods: all
+* Value type: true | {false, AuthHeader}
+* Default value: true
+
+Return whether the user is authorized to perform the action.
+
+This function should be used to perform any necessary
+authentication of the user before attempting to perform
+any action on the resource.
+
+If the authentication fails, the value returned will be sent
+as the value for the www-authenticate header in the
+`401 Unauthorized` response.
+
+: is_conflict
+
+* Methods: PUT
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: false
+
+Return whether the put action results in a conflict.
+
+A `409 Conflict` response will be sent if this function
+returns `true`.
+
+: known_content_type
+
+* Methods: all
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: true
+
+Return whether the content-type is known.
+
+This function determines if the server understands the
+content-type, regardless of its use by the resource.
+
+: known_methods
+
+* Methods: all
+* Value type: [binary()]
+* Default value: [<<"GET">>, <<"HEAD">>, <<"POST">>, <<"PUT">>, <<"PATCH">>, <<"DELETE">>, <<"OPTIONS">>]
+
+Return the list of known methods.
+
+The full list of methods known by the server should be
+returned, regardless of their use in the resource.
+
+The default value lists the methods Cowboy knows and
+implement in `cowboy_rest`.
+
+Methods are case sensitive. Standard methods are always uppercase.
+
+: languages_provided
+
+* Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
+* Value type: [binary()]
+* Skip to the next step if undefined
+
+Return the list of languages the resource provides.
+
+The list must be ordered in order of preference.
+
+If the accept-language header was not sent, the first language
+in the list will be selected. Otherwise Cowboy will select
+the most appropriate language from the list.
+
+The chosen language will be set in the `Req` object as the meta
+value `language`.
+
+While languages are case insensitive, this callback is expected
+to return them as lowercase binary.
+
+: last_modified
+
+* Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
+* Value type: calendar:datetime()
+* Default value: undefined
+
+Return the date of last modification of the resource.
+
+This date will be used to test against the if-modified-since
+and if-unmodified-since headers, and sent as the last-modified
+header in the response of GET and HEAD requests.
+
+: malformed_request
+
+* Methods: all
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: false
+
+Return whether the request is malformed.
+
+Cowboy has already performed all the necessary checks
+by the time this function is called, so few resources
+are expected to implement it.
+
+The check is to be done on the request itself, not on
+the request body, which is processed later.
+
+: moved_permanently
+
+* Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
+* Value type: {true, URL} | false
+* Default value: false
+
+Return whether the resource was permanently moved.
+
+If it was, its new URL is also returned and sent in the
+location header in the response.
+
+: moved_temporarily
+
+* Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PATCH, DELETE
+* Value type: {true, URL} | false
+* Default value: false
+
+Return whether the resource was temporarily moved.
+
+If it was, its new URL is also returned and sent in the
+location header in the response.
+
+: multiple_choices
+
+* Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: false
+
+Return whether there are multiple representations of the resource.
+
+This function should be used to inform the client if there
+are different representations of the resource, for example
+different content-type. If this function returns `true`,
+the response body should include information about these
+different representations using `cowboy_req:set_resp_body/2`.
+The content-type of the response should be the one previously
+negociated and that can be obtained by calling
+`cowboy_req:meta(media_type, Req)`.
+
+: options
+
+* Methods: OPTIONS
+* Value type: ok
+* Default value: ok
+
+Handle a request for information.
+
+The response should inform the client the communication
+options available for this resource.
+
+By default, Cowboy will send a `200 OK` response with the
+allow header set.
+
+: previously_existed
+
+* Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PATCH, DELETE
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: false
+
+Return whether the resource existed previously.
+
+: resource_exists
+
+* Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: true
+
+Return whether the resource exists.
+
+If it exists, conditional headers will be tested before
+attempting to perform the action. Otherwise, Cowboy will
+check if the resource previously existed first.
+
+: service_available
+
+* Methods: all
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: true
+
+Return whether the service is available.
+
+This function can be used to test that all relevant backend
+systems are up and able to handle requests.
+
+A `503 Service Unavailable` response will be sent if this
+function returns `false`.
+
+: uri_too_long
+
+* Methods: all
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: false
+
+Return whether the requested URI is too long.
+
+Cowboy has already performed all the necessary checks
+by the time this function is called, so few resources
+are expected to implement it.
+
+A `414 Request-URI Too Long` response will be sent if this
+function returns `true`.
+
+: valid_content_headers
+
+* Methods: all
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: true
+
+Return whether the content-* headers are valid.
+
+This also applies to the transfer-encoding header. This
+function must return `false` for any unknown content-*
+headers, or if the headers can't be understood. The
+function `cowboy_req:parse_header/2` can be used to
+quickly check the headers can be parsed.
+
+A `501 Not Implemented` response will be sent if this
+function returns `false`.
+
+: valid_entity_length
+
+* Methods: all
+* Value type: boolean()
+* Default value: true
+
+Return whether the request body length is within acceptable boundaries.
+
+A `413 Request Entity Too Large` response will be sent if this
+function returns `false`.
+
+: variances
+
+* Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
+* Value type: [binary()]
+* Default value: []
+
+Return the list of headers that affect the representation of the resource.
+
+These request headers return the same resource but with different
+parameters, like another language or a different content-type.
+
+Cowboy will automatically add the accept, accept-language and
+accept-charset headers to the list if the respective functions
+were defined in the resource.
+
+This operation is performed right before the `resource_exists/2`
+callback. All responses past that point will contain the vary
+header which holds this list.

-HTTP status codes
-=================
+::: HTTP status codes
This chapter aims to list all HTTP status codes that Cowboy
may return, with details on the reasons why. The list given
here only includes the replies that Cowboy sends, not user
replies.
-100 Continue
-------------
+: 100 Continue
When the client sends an `expect: 100-continue` header,
Cowboy automatically sends a this status code before
trying to read the request body. This behavior can be
disabled using the appropriate body option.
-101 Switching Protocols
------------------------
+: 101 Switching Protocols
This is the status code sent when switching to the
Websocket protocol.
-200 OK
-------
+: 200 OK
This status code is sent by `cowboy_rest`.
-201 Created
------------
+: 201 Created
This status code is sent by `cowboy_rest`.
-202 Accepted
-------------
+: 202 Accepted
This status code is sent by `cowboy_rest`.
-204 No Content
---------------
+: 204 No Content
This status code is sent when the processing of a request
ends without any reply having been sent. It may also be
sent by `cowboy_rest` under normal conditions.
-300 Multiple Choices
---------------------

-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 | {error, not_found}
-
-> 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.

-cowboy_loop_handler
-===================
-
-The `cowboy_loop_handler` behaviour defines the interface used
-by HTTP handlers that do not send a response directly, instead
-requiring a receive loop to process Erlang messages.
-
-This interface is best fit for long-polling types of requests.
-
-The `init/3` callback will always be called, followed by zero
-or more calls to `info/3`. The `terminate/3` will always be
-called last.

-> This callback will typically be used to register this process

-cowboy_req
-==========
-
-The `cowboy_req` module provides functions to access, manipulate
-and respond to requests.
-
-The functions in this module follow patterns for their return types,
-based on the kind of function.
-
- * access: `{Value, Req}`
- * action: `{Result, Req} | {Result, Value, Req} | {error, atom()}`
- * modification: `Req`
- * question: `boolean()`
-
-The only exception is the `chunk/2` function which may return `ok`.
-
-Whenever `Req` is returned, you must use this returned value and
-ignore any previous you may have had. This value contains various
-state informations which are necessary for Cowboy to do some lazy
-evaluation or cache results where appropriate.
-
-All functions which perform an action should only be called once.
-This includes reading the request body or replying. Cowboy will
-generally throw an error on the second call.
-
-Types
------
-
-### body_opts() = [{continue, boolean()}
- | {length, non_neg_integer()}
- | {read_length, non_neg_integer()}
- | {read_timeout, timeout()}
- | {transfer_decode, transfer_decode_fun(), any()}
- | {content_decode, content_decode_fun()}]
-
-> Request body reading options.
-
-### cookie_opts() = [{max_age, non_neg_integer()}
- | {domain, binary()} | {path, binary()}
- | {secure, boolean()} | {http_only, boolean()}]
-
-> Cookie options.
-
-### req() - opaque to the user
-
-> The `Req` object.
->
-> All functions in this module receive a `Req` as argument,
-> and most of them return a new object labelled `Req2` in
-> the function descriptions below.
-
-Request related exports
------------------------

->
-> The cookie names and values, the values of the sec-websocket-protocol
-> and x-forwarded-for headers, the values in `AcceptExt` and `Params`,
-> the authorization `Credentials`, the `ExpectValue` and `OpaqueTag`
-> are case sensitive. All values in `ContentTypeParams` are case sensitive

->
-> The headers accept, accept-encoding and cookie headers can return
-> an empty list. Others will return `{error, badarg}` if the header
-> value is empty.
->
-> The authorization header parsing code currently only supports basic
-> HTTP authentication. The `Credentials` type is thus `{Username, Password}`

-Request body related exports
-----------------------------
-
-### body(Req) -> body(Req, [])
-### body(Req, Opts) -> {ok, Data, Req2} | {more, Data, Req2} | {error, Reason}
-
-> Types:
-> * Opts = [body_opt()]
-> * Data = binary()
-> * Reason = atom()
->
-> Read the request body.
->
-> This function will read a chunk of the request body. If there is
-> more data to be read after this function call, then a `more` tuple
-> is returned. Otherwise an `ok` tuple is returned.
->
-> Cowboy will automatically send a `100 Continue` reply if
-> required. If this behavior is not desirable, it can be disabled
-> by setting the `continue` option to `false`.
->
-> Cowboy will by default attempt to read up to 8MB of the body,
-> but in chunks of 1MB. It will use a timeout of 15s per chunk.
-> All these values can be changed using the `length`, `read_length`
-> and `read_timeout` options respectively. Note that the size
-> of the data may not be the same as requested as the decoding
-> functions may grow or shrink it, and Cowboy makes not attempt
-> at returning an exact amount.
->
-> Cowboy will properly handle chunked transfer-encoding by
-> default. If any other transfer-encoding or content-encoding
-> has been used for the request, custom decoding functions
-> can be used. The `content_decode` and `transfer_decode`
-> options allow setting the decode functions manually.
->
-> After the body has been streamed fully, Cowboy will remove
-> the transfer-encoding header from the `Req` object, and add
-> the content-length header if it wasn't already there.
->
-> This function can only be called once. Cowboy will not cache
-> the result of this call.
-
-### body_length(Req) -> {Length, Req2}
-
-> Types:
-> * Length = non_neg_integer() | undefined
->
-> Return the length of the request body.
->
-> The length will only be returned if the request does not
-> use any transfer-encoding and if the content-length header
-> is present.
-
-### body_qs(Req) -> body_qs(Req,
- [{length, 64000}, {read_length, 64000}, {read_timeout, 5000}])
-### body_qs(Req, Opts) -> {ok, [{Name, Value}], Req2}

-
-> Types:
-> * Opts = [body_opt()]
-> * Name = binary()
-> * Value = binary() | true
-> * Reason = chunked | badlength | atom()
->
-> Return the request body as a list of tuples.
->
-> This function will parse the body assuming the content-type
-> application/x-www-form-urlencoded, commonly used for the
-> query string.
->
-> This function calls `body/2` for reading the body, with the
-> same options it received. By default it will attempt to read
-> a body of 64KB in one chunk, with a timeout of 5s. If the
-> body is larger then a `badlength` tuple is returned.
->
-> This function can only be called once. Cowboy will not cache
-> the result of this call.
-
-### has_body(Req) -> boolean()
-
-> Return whether the request has a body.
-
-### part(Req) -> part(Req,
- [{length, 64000}, {read_length, 64000}, {read_timeout, 5000}])
-### part(Req, Opts) -> {ok, Headers, Req2} | {done, Req2}
-
-> Types:
-> * Opts = [body_opt()]
-> * Headers = cow_multipart:headers()
->
-> Read the headers for the next part of the multipart message.
->
-> Cowboy will skip any data remaining until the beginning of
-> the next part. This includes the preamble to the multipart
-> message but also the body of a previous part if it hasn't
-> been read. Both are skipped automatically when calling this
-> function.
->
-> The headers returned are MIME headers, NOT HTTP headers.
-> They can be parsed using the functions from the `cow_multipart`
-> module. In addition, the `cow_multipart:form_data/1` function
-> can be used to quickly figure out `multipart/form-data` messages.
-> It takes the list of headers and returns whether this part is
-> a simple form field or a file being uploaded.
->
-> Note that once a part has been read, or skipped, it cannot
-> be read again.
->
-> This function calls `body/2` for reading the body, with the
-> same options it received. By default it will only read chunks
-> of 64KB with a timeout of 5s. This is tailored for reading
-> part headers, not for skipping the previous part's body.
-> You might want to consider skipping large parts manually.
-
-### part_body(Req) -> part_body(Req, [])
-### part_body(Req, Opts) -> {ok, Data, Req2} | {more, Data, Req2}
-
-> Types:
-> * Opts = [body_opt()]
-> * Data = binary()
->
-> Read the body of the current part of the multipart message.
->
-> This function calls `body/2` for reading the body, with the
-> same options it received. It uses the same defaults.
->
-> If there are more data to be read from the socket for this
-> part, the function will return what it could read inside a
-> `more` tuple. Otherwise, it will return an `ok` tuple.
->
-> Calling this function again after receiving a `more` tuple
-> will return another chunk of body. The last chunk will be
-> returned inside an `ok` tuple.
->
-> Note that once the body has been read, fully or partially,
-> it cannot be read again.

->
-> This function should be called as many times as needed
-> to send data chunks after calling `chunked_reply/{2,3}`.
->
-> When the method is HEAD, no data will actually be sent.
->
-> If the request uses HTTP/1.0, the data is sent directly

->
-> Send a response using chunked transfer-encoding.
->
-> This function effectively sends the response status line

-> without wrapping it in an HTTP/1.1 chunk, providing
-> compatibility with older clients.
->
-> This function can only be called once, with the exception
-> of overriding the response in the `onresponse` hook.
-
-### continue(Req) -> ok | {error, Reason}
-
-> Types:
-> * Reason = atom()
->
-> Send a 100 Continue intermediate reply.
->
-> This reply is required before the client starts sending the
-> body when the request contains the `expect` header with the
-> `100-continue` value.
->
-> Cowboy will send this automatically when required. However
-> you may want to do it manually by disabling this behavior
-> with the `continue` body option and then calling this
-> function.
-
-### delete_resp_header(Name, Req) -> Req2
-
-> Types:
-> * Name = binary()
->
-> Delete the given response header.
->
-> While header names are case insensitive, this function expects

-> This function will return false if a response body has
-> been set with a length of 0.
-
-### has_resp_header(Name, Req) -> boolean()
-
-> Types:

-> * Body = iodata()
->
-> Send a response.
->
-> This function effectively sends the response status line,
-> headers and body to the client, in a single send function
-> call.
->
-> The `reply/2` and `reply/3` functions will send the body
-> set previously, if any. The `reply/4` function overrides

-cowboy_rest
-===========
-
-The `cowboy_rest` module implements REST semantics on top of
-the HTTP protocol.
-
-This module cannot be described as a behaviour due to most of
-the callbacks it defines being optional. It has the same
-semantics as a behaviour otherwise.
-
-The only mandatory callback is `init/3`, needed to perform
-the protocol upgrade.
-
-Types
------
-
-None.
-
-Meta values
------------
-
-### charset
-
-> Type: binary()
->
-> Negotiated charset.
->
-> This value may not be defined if no charset was negotiated.
-
-### language
-
-> Type: binary()
->
-> Negotiated language.
->
-> This value may not be defined if no language was negotiated.
-
-### media_type
-
-> Type: {binary(), binary(), '*' | [{binary(), binary()}]}
->
-> Negotiated media-type.
->
-> The media-type is the content-type, excluding the charset.
->
-> This value is always defined after the call to
-> `content_types_provided/2`.
-
-Callbacks
----------
-
-### init({TransportName, ProtocolName}, Req, Opts)
- -> {upgrade, protocol, cowboy_rest}
- | {upgrade, protocol, cowboy_rest, Req, Opts}
-
-> Types:
-> * TransportName = tcp | ssl | atom()
-> * ProtocolName = http | atom()
-> * Req = cowboy_req:req()
-> * Opts = any()
->
-> Upgrade the protocol to `cowboy_rest`.
->
-> This is the only mandatory callback.
-
-### rest_init(Req, Opts) -> {ok, Req, State}
-
-> Types:
-> * Req = cowboy_req:req()
-> * Opts = any()
-> * State = any()
->
-> Initialize the state for this request.
-
-### rest_terminate(Req, State) -> ok
-
-> Types:
-> * Req = cowboy_req:req()
-> * State = any()
->
-> Perform any necessary cleanup of the state.
->
-> This callback should release any resource currently in use,
-> clear any active timer and reset the process to its original
-> state, as it might be reused for future requests sent on the
-> same connection.
-
-### Callback(Req, State) -> {Value, Req, State} | {halt, Req, State}
-
-> Types:
-> * Callback - one of the REST callbacks described below
-> * Req = cowboy_req:req()
-> * State = any()
-> * Value - see the REST callbacks description below
->
-> Please see the REST callbacks description below for details
-> on the `Value` type, the default value if the callback is
-> not defined, and more general information on when the
-> callback is called and what its intended use is.
->
-> The `halt` tuple can be returned to stop REST processing.
-> It is up to the resource code to send a reply before that,
-> otherwise a `204 No Content` will be sent.
-
-REST callbacks description
---------------------------
-
-### allowed_methods
-
-> * Methods: all
-> * Value type: [binary()]
-> * Default value: [<<"GET">>, <<"HEAD">>, <<"OPTIONS">>]
->
-> Return the list of allowed methods.
->
-> Methods are case sensitive. Standard methods are always uppercase.
-
-### allow_missing_post
-
-> * Methods: POST
-> * Value type: boolean()
-> * Default value: true
->
-> Return whether POST is allowed when the resource doesn't exist.
->
-> Returning `true` here means that a new resource will be
-> created. The URL to the created resource should also be
-> returned from the `AcceptResource` callback.
-
-### charsets_provided
-
-> * Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
-> * Value type: [binary()]
-> * Skip to the next step if undefined
->
-> Return the list of charsets the resource provides.
->
-> The list must be ordered in order of preference.
->
-> If the accept-charset header was not sent, the first charset
-> in the list will be selected. Otherwise Cowboy will select
-> the most appropriate charset from the list.
->
-> The chosen charset will be set in the `Req` object as the meta
-> value `charset`.
->
-> While charsets are case insensitive, this callback is expected
-> to return them as lowercase binary.
-
-### content_types_accepted
-
-> * Methods: POST, PUT, PATCH
-> * No default
->
-> Types:
-> * Value = [{binary() | {Type, SubType, Params}, AcceptResource}]
-> * Type = SubType = binary()
-> * Params = '*' | [{binary(), binary()}]
-> * AcceptResource = atom()
->
-> Return the list of content-types the resource accepts.
->
-> The list must be ordered in order of preference.
->
-> Each content-type can be given either as a binary string or as
-> a tuple containing the type, subtype and parameters.
->
-> Cowboy will select the most appropriate content-type from the list.
-> If any parameter is acceptable, then the tuple form should be used
-> with parameters set to `'*'`. If the parameters value is set to `[]`
-> only content-type values with no parameters will be accepted. All
-> parameter values are treated in a case sensitive manner except the
-> `charset` parameter, if present, which is case insensitive.
->
-> This function will be called for POST, PUT and PATCH requests.
-> It is entirely possible to define different callbacks for different
-> methods if the handling of the request differs. Simply verify
-> what the method is with `cowboy_req:method/1` and return a
-> different list for each methods.
->
-> The `AcceptResource` value is the name of the callback that will
-> be called if the content-type matches. It is defined as follow.
->
-> * Value type: true | {true, URL} | false
-> * No default
->
-> Process the request body.
->
-> This function should create or update the resource with the
-> information contained in the request body. This information
-> may be full or partial depending on the request method.
->
-> If the request body was processed successfully, `true` or
-> `{true, URL}` may be returned. If an URL is provided, the
-> response will redirect the client to the location of the
-> resource.
->
-> If a response body must be sent, the appropriate media-type, charset
-> and language can be retrieved using the `cowboy_req:meta/{2,3}`
-> functions. The respective keys are `media_type`, `charset`
-> and `language`. The body can be set using `cowboy_req:set_resp_body/2`.
-
-### content_types_provided

-> * ProvideResource = atom()
->
-> Return the list of content-types the resource provides.
->
-> The list must be ordered in order of preference.
->
-> Each content-type can be given either as a binary string or as
-> a tuple containing the type, subtype and parameters.
->
-> Cowboy will select the most appropriate content-type from the list.
-> If any parameter is acceptable, then the tuple form should be used
-> with parameters set to `'*'`. If the parameters value is set to `[]`
-> only content-type values with no parameters will be accepted. All
-> parameter values are treated in a case sensitive manner except the
-> `charset` parameter, if present, which is case insensitive.
->
-> The `ProvideResource` value is the name of the callback that will
-> be called if the content-type matches. It will only be called when
-> a representation of the resource needs to be returned. It is defined
-> as follow.
->
-> * Methods: GET, HEAD
-> * Value type: iodata() | {stream, Fun} | {stream, Len, Fun} | {chunked, ChunkedFun}
-> * No default
->
-> Return the response body.
->
-> The response body may be provided directly or through a fun.
-> If a fun tuple is returned, the appropriate `set_resp_body_fun`
-> function will be called. Please refer to the documentation for
-> these functions for more information about the types.
->
-> The call to this callback happens a good time after the call to
-> `content_types_provided/2`, when it is time to start rendering
-> the response body.
-
-### delete_completed
-
-> * Methods: DELETE
-> * Value type: boolean()
-> * Default value: true
->
-> Return whether the delete action has been completed.
->
-> This function should return `false` if there is no guarantee
-> that the resource gets deleted immediately from the system,

-
-### delete_resource
-
-> * Methods: DELETE

-> * Default value: undefined
->
-> Return the date of expiration of the resource.

-
-### forbidden
-
-> * Methods: all
-> * Value type: boolean()
-> * Default value: false
->
-> Return whether access to the resource is forbidden.
->
-> A `403 Forbidden` response will be sent if this
-> function returns `true`. This status code means that
-> access is forbidden regardless of authentication,
-> and that the request shouldn't be repeated.
-

-
-> * Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
-> * Value type: binary() | {weak | strong, binary()}
-> * Default value: undefined
->
-> Return the entity tag of the resource.
->
-> This value will be sent as the value of the etag header.
->
-> If a binary is returned, then the value will be parsed
-> to the tuple form automatically. The value must be in
-> the same format as the etag header, including quotes.
-
-### is_authorized
-
-> * Methods: all
-> * Value type: true | {false, AuthHeader}
-> * Default value: true
->
-> Return whether the user is authorized to perform the action.
->
-> This function should be used to perform any necessary
-> authentication of the user before attempting to perform
-> any action on the resource.

->
-> This function determines if the server understands the
-> content-type, regardless of its use by the resource.
-
-### known_methods
-
-> * Methods: all
-> * Value type: [binary()]
-> * Default value: [<<"GET">>, <<"HEAD">>, <<"POST">>, <<"PUT">>, <<"PATCH">>, <<"DELETE">>, <<"OPTIONS">>]
->
-> Return the list of known methods.
->
-> The full list of methods known by the server should be
-> returned, regardless of their use in the resource.

-
-### languages_provided
-
-> * Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
-> * Value type: [binary()]
-> * Skip to the next step if undefined
->
-> Return the list of languages the resource provides.
->
-> The list must be ordered in order of preference.
->
-> If the accept-language header was not sent, the first language
-> in the list will be selected. Otherwise Cowboy will select
-> the most appropriate language from the list.
->
-> The chosen language will be set in the `Req` object as the meta
-> value `language`.
->
-> While languages are case insensitive, this callback is expected
-> to return them as lowercase binary.
-
-### last_modified
-
-> * Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
-> * Value type: calendar:datetime()
-> * Default value: undefined
->
-> Return the date of last modification of the resource.
->
-> This date will be used to test against the if-modified-since
-> and if-unmodified-since headers, and sent as the last-modified
-> header in the response of GET and HEAD requests.
-
-### malformed_request
-
-> * Methods: all
-> * Value type: boolean()
-> * Default value: false
->
-> Return whether the request is malformed.
->
-> Cowboy has already performed all the necessary checks
-> by the time this function is called, so few resources
-> are expected to implement it.
->
-> The check is to be done on the request itself, not on
-> the request body, which is processed later.
-
-### moved_permanently
-
-> * Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
-> * Value type: {true, URL} | false
-> * Default value: false

-
-### moved_temporarily
-
-> * Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PATCH, DELETE
-> * Value type: {true, URL} | false
-> * Default value: false
->

-
-### multiple_choices
-
-> * Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
-> * Value type: boolean()
-> * Default value: false
->
-> Return whether there are multiple representations of the resource.
->
-> This function should be used to inform the client if there
-> are different representations of the resource, for example
-> different content-type. If this function returns `true`,
-> the response body should include information about these
-> different representations using `cowboy_req:set_resp_body/2`.
-> The content-type of the response should be the one previously
-> negociated and that can be obtained by calling
-> `cowboy_req:meta(media_type, Req)`.
-
-### options
-
-> * Methods: OPTIONS
-> * Value type: ok
-> * Default value: ok
->
-> Handle a request for information.
->
-> The response should inform the client the communication
-> options available for this resource.
->
-> By default, Cowboy will send a `200 OK` response with the
-> allow header set.
-
-### previously_existed
-
-> * Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PATCH, DELETE
-> * Value type: boolean()
-> * Default value: false
->

-
-### resource_exists
-

-
-### service_available
-
-> * Methods: all
-> * Value type: boolean()
-> * Default value: true
->
-> Return whether the service is available.
->
-> This function can be used to test that all relevant backend
-> systems are up and able to handle requests.

-
-### uri_too_long
-
-> * Methods: all
-> * Value type: boolean()
-> * Default value: false
->
-> Return whether the requested URI is too long.
->
-> Cowboy has already performed all the necessary checks
-> by the time this function is called, so few resources
-> are expected to implement it.
->
-> A `414 Request-URI Too Long` response will be sent if this
-> function returns `true`.
-
-### valid_content_headers
-
-> * Methods: all
-> * Value type: boolean()
-> * Default value: true
->
-> Return whether the content-* headers are valid.
->
-> This also applies to the transfer-encoding header. This
-> function must return `false` for any unknown content-*
-> headers, or if the headers can't be understood. The
-> function `cowboy_req:parse_header/2` can be used to
-> quickly check the headers can be parsed.
->
-> A `501 Not Implemented` response will be sent if this
-> function returns `false`.
-
-### valid_entity_length

-> * Methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
-> * Value type: [binary()]
-> * Default value: []
->
-> Return the list of headers that affect the representation of the resource.
->
-> These request headers return the same resource but with different
-> parameters, like another language or a different content-type.
->
-> Cowboy will automatically add the accept, accept-language and
-> accept-charset headers to the list if the respective functions
-> were defined in the resource.
->
-> This operation is performed right before the `resource_exists/2`
-> callback. All responses past that point will contain the vary
-> header which holds this list.

-> This function is called before the upgrade to Websocket occurs.
-> It can be used to negotiate Websocket protocol extensions
-> with the client. It will typically be used to register this process
-> to an event manager or a message queue in order to receive
-> the messages the handler wants to process.
->
-> The connection will stay up for a duration of up to `Timeout`
-> milliseconds after it last received data from the socket,
-> at which point it will stop and close the connection.
-> By default this value is set to `infinity`. It is recommended
-> to either set this value or ensure by any other mechanism
-> that the handler will be closed after a certain period of
-> inactivity.
->
-> The `hibernate` option will hibernate the process until it
-> starts receiving either data from the Websocket connection
-> or Erlang messages.
->
-> The `shutdown` return value can be used to close the connection
-> before upgrading to Websocket.
