2019-10-06	Document the commands based Websocket interface	Loïc Hoguin
	The old interface with ok\|reply\|stop tuples is deprecated.
2018-03-28	Add max_frame_size option for websocket handlers	Kirill Kinduk
	Option allows to limit a frame by size before decoding its payload. LH: I have added a test for when the limit is reached on a nofin fragmented frame (the last commit addressed that case but it had no test). I have fixed formatting and other, and changed the default value to infinity since it might otherwise be incompatible with existing code. I also added documentation and a bunch of other minor changes.
2018-01-29	Add an example with a Websocket close frame	Loïc Hoguin
	Thanks benbro!
2017-10-13	Small guide fixes	Loïc Hoguin

2017-09-04	Fix more documentation todos	Loïc Hoguin
	I have decided not to include a manual page for cowboy_stream_h at this point because it clashes with the cowboy_stream manual page. This decision will be revisited in the future.
2017-04-18	Update Websocket handler docs default timeout	Gary Rennie
	This was changed from infinity to 60s in a45813c60f0f983a24ea29d491b37f0590fdd087
2017-02-18	Allow passing options to sub protocols	Loïc Hoguin
	Before this commit we had an issue where configuring a Websocket connection was simply not possible without doing magic, adding callbacks or extra return values. The init/2 function only allowed setting hibernate and timeout options. After this commit, when switching to a different type of handler you can either return {module, Req, State} or {module, Req, State, Opts} where Opts is any value (as far as the sub protocol interface is concerned) and is ultimately checked by the custom handlers. A large protocol like Websocket would accept only a map there, with many different options, while a small interface like loop handlers would allow passing hibernate and nothing else. For Websocket, hibernate must be set from the websocket_init/1 callback, because init/2 executes in a separate process. Sub protocols now have two callbacks: one with the Opts value, one without. The loop handler code was largely reworked and simplified. It does not need to manage a timeout or read from the socket anymore, it's the job of the protocol code. A lot of unnecessary stuff was therefore removed. Websocket compression must now be enabled from the handler options instead of per listener. This means that a project can have two separate Websocket handlers with different options. Compression is still disabled by default, and the idle_timeout value was changed from inifnity to 60000 (60 seconds), as that's safer and is also a good value for mobile devices.
