Now everywhere in Cowboy when we want to stop something we return
a 'stop' tuple instead of one of the many choices depending on
context that we had before.
This particular change affects middlewares, sub protocols and
REST handlers which were using 'halt' to stop processing.
|
|
The 'shutdown' atom has a specific meaning inside OTP. We are
instead going to use 'stop' which is pretty much the equivalent
of what we actually do. 'shutdown' is now reserved for future
special processes implementation.

Wasn't following the same order as the rest of the module.
|
|
This callback was simply useless.
|
|
We don't need the extra check for multiple of 8 bits.

This change simplifies a little more the sub protocols mechanism.
Aliases have been removed. The renaming of loop handlers as long
polling handlers has been reverted.
Plain HTTP handlers now simply do their work in the init/2
callback. There is no specific code for them.
Loop handlers now follow the same return value as Websocket,
they use ok to continue and shutdown to stop.
Terminate reasons for all handler types have been documented.
The terminate callback is now appropriately called in all cases
(or should be).
Behaviors for all handler types have been moved in the module
that implement them. This means that cowboy_handler replaces
the cowboy_http_handler behavior, and similarly cowboy_loop
replaces cowboy_loop_handler, cowboy_websocket replaces
cowboy_websocket_handler. Finally cowboy_rest now has the
start of a behavior in it and will have the full list of
optional callbacks defined once Erlang 18.0 gets released.
The guide has been reorganized and should be easier to follow.

This set of changes is the first step to simplify the
writing of handlers, by removing some extraneous
callbacks and making others optional.
init/3 is now init/2, its first argument being removed.
rest_init/2 and rest_terminate/2 have been removed.
websocket_init/3 and websocket_terminate/3 have been removed.
terminate/3 is now optional. It is called regardless of
the type of handler, including rest and websocket.
The return value of init/2 changed. It now returns
{Mod, Req, Opts} with Mod being either one of the four
handler type or a custom module. It can also return extra
timeout and hibernate options.
The signature for sub protocols has changed, they now
receive these extra timeout and hibernate options.
Loop handlers are now implemented in cowboy_long_polling,
and will be renamed throughout the project in a future commit.

It wasn't interesting compared to simply returning a halt tuple
with an explicit reply.
|
|
It was redundant with middlewares. Allows us to save a few operations
for every incoming requests.
|
|
This makes routing more in line with the rest of Cowboy and
allows us to use cowboy_constraints directly.
|
|
Simplify the interface for most cowboy_req functions. They all return
a single value except the four body reading functions. The reply functions
now only return a Req value.
Access functions do not return a Req anymore.
Functions that used to cache results do not have a cache anymore.
The interface for accessing query string and cookies has therefore
been changed.
There are now three query string functions: qs/1 provides access
to the raw query string value; parse_qs/1 returns the query string
as a list of key/values; match_qs/2 returns a map containing the
values requested in the second argument, after applying constraints
and default value.
Similarly, there are two cookie functions: parse_cookies/1 and
match_cookies/2. More match functions will be added in future commits.
None of the functions return an error tuple anymore. It either works
or crashes. Cowboy will attempt to provide an appropriate status code
in the response of crashed handlers.
As a result, the content decode function has its return value changed
to a simple binary, and the body reading functions only return on success.

The guide refers to accept_missing_post instead of allow_missing_post.

We should be doing a case insensitive comparison to be correct,
but this is more expensive. Almost all clients send lowercase,
this patch fixes handling of the aws/aws-sdk-php client which
sends uppercase, and no known client sends mixed case so I am
holding back on the more expensive solution for the moment.

The function `set_resp_header' is defined in `cowboy_req'
module, not the `cowboy'.

Only go for keep-alive if they submit a 'connection: keep-alive' header
in the request, keep behaviour the same otherwise.
The new RFC 7230 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-6.3)
states:
If the received protocol is HTTP/1.0, the "keep-alive" connection
option is present, the recipient is not a proxy, and the recipient
wishes to honor the HTTP/1.0 "keep-alive" mechanism, the
connection will persist after the current response;
Even though clients are discouraged from doing so in Appendix A.1.2
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#appendix-A.1.2)
