These dependencies must +be loaded for the `cowboy` application to work. In an embedded +environment this means that they need to be started with the +`application:start/{1,2}` function before the `cowboy` +application is started. + +The `cowboy` application also uses the Erlang applications +`public_key` and `ssl` when listening for HTTPS connections. +These are started automatically if they weren't before. + +Environment +----------- + +The `cowboy` application does not define any application +environment configuration parameters. |
