server. It is non-exhaustive and subject to change. Items

+ * Add and improve examples
- The first step would be to port misultin's examples
- to Cowboy. Then these examples could be completed with
- examples for Cowboy specific features.
+ * Improve user guide
- The extend/cowboy_examples is to be used for this. As
- it is a separate repository, we can organize the file
- structure as appropriate. Ideally we would have one
- complete example per folder.
+ We need feedback to improve the guide.
- Examples should be commented. They may or may not be
- used for writing the user guides.
-
- * Write user guides.
-
- We currently have good API documentation, but no step
- by step user guides.
-
- * Write more, better tests.
+ * Add and improve tests
Amongst the areas less tested there is protocol upgrades
and the REST handler.
- Current tests should be completed with unit tests
- where applicable. We should probably also test the
- dependencies used, like erlang:decode_packet/3.

While eunit and ct tests are fine, some parts of the
code could benefit from PropEr tests.

the servers that outperform Cowboy for the task being tested.
- * Improve HTTP/1.0 support.

+ * Improved HTTP/1.0 support
Most of the work on Cowboy has been done with HTTP/1.1
in mind. But there is still a need for HTTP/1.0 code in
Cowboy. The server code should be reviewed and tested
to ensure compatibility with remaining HTTP/1.0 products.
- * Complete the work on Websockets.
-
- Now that the Autobahn test suite is available (make inttests),
- we have a definite way to know whether Cowboy's implementation
- of Websockets is right. The work can thus be completed. The
- remaining task is proper UTF8 handling.
+ * SPDY support
- * SPDY support.
+The following items pertain to Ranch.
- While SPDY probably won't be added directly to Cowboy, work
- has been started on making Cowboy use SPDY.
-
- * Transport upgrades.
-
- Some protocols allow an upgrade from TCP to SSL without
- closing the connection. This is currently not possible
- through the Cowboy API.

- * Resizing the acceptor pool.
+ * Resizing the acceptor pool
We should be able to add more acceptors to a pool but also
to remove some of them as needed.
- * Simplified dispatch list.
-
- For convenience purposes, the dispatch list should allow
- lists instead of binaries. The lists can be converted to
- binary by Cowboy at listener initialization.
-
- There has also been discussion on allowing the dispatch
- list to be hierarchical.

+ * Add Transport:secure/0
Currently Cowboy checks if a connection is secure by
checking if its name is 'ssl'. This isn't a very modular
