2018-11-12Add deflate options for Websocket compressionLoïc Hoguin
They allow the server to configure what it is willing to accept for both the negotiated configuration (takeover and window bits) and the other zlib options (level, mem_level and strategy). This can be used to reduce the memory and/or CPU footprint of the compressed data, which comes with a cost in compression ratio.
2018-11-09Add sendfile support to cowboy_req:stream_bodyLoïc Hoguin
It is now possible to stream one or more sendfile tuples. A simple example of what can now be done would be for example to build a tar file on the fly using the sendfile syscall for sending the files, or to support Range requests with more than one range with the sendfile syscall. When using cowboy_compress_h unfortunately we have to read the file in order to send it. More options will be added at a later time to make sure users don't read too much into memory. This is a new feature however so existing code is not affected. Also rework cowboy_http's data sending to be flatter.

2018-11-02Add a charset option to cowboy_staticLoïc Hoguin
2018-11-02Add tests for charsets_providedLoïc Hoguin
Fix cases where the q-value is 0 and where a wildcard was sent in the accept-charset header. Also don't send a charset in the content-type of the response if the media type is not text. Thanks to Philip Witty for help figuring this out.
2018-11-02Better handle content negotiation when accept contains charsetsLoïc Hoguin
Thanks to Philip Witty for help figuring this out.

2018-06-28Introduce undocumented option loggerLoïc Hoguin
This commit reworks the logging that Cowboy does via error_logger to make the module that will do the actual logging configurable. The logger module interface must be the same as logger and lager: a separate function per log level with the same log levels they support. The default behavior remains to call error_logger, although some messages were downgraded to warnings instead of errors. Since error_logger only supports three different log levels, some messages may get downgraded/upgraded depending on what the original log level was to make them compatible with error_logger. The {log, Level, Format, Args} command was also added to stream handlers. Stream handlers should use this command to log messages because it allows writing a stream handler to intercept some of those messages and extract information or block them as necessary. The logger option only applies to Cowboy itself, not to the messages Ranch logs, so more work remains to be done in that area.

Thanks Artem.
2018-06-25Add streaming without chunking for HTTP/1.1Eric Meadows-Jönsson
If content-length is set in the response headers we can skip chunked transfer-encoding.

Using the current draft: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-h2-websockets-01
2018-03-28Add max_frame_size option for websocket handlersKirill 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.
2018-01-29Fix a small issue in the cowboy_req:parse_cookies manualLoïc Hoguin
Thanks benbro!
2017-12-13Document the missing inform stream handler command2.2.0Loïc Hoguin
2017-12-11Small documentation tweaksLoïc Hoguin
2017-12-11Document 2.2 changes and the new stream_trailers functionLoïc Hoguin
2017-12-08Add the few remaining tests to the rfc7231 test suiteLoïc Hoguin
2017-12-07Add more rfc7231 tests and a new max_skip_body_length optionLoïc Hoguin
The option controls how much body we accept to skip for HTTP/1.1 connections when the user code did not consume the body fully. It defaults to 1MB.
2017-11-09Add a changelog for cowboy_restLoïc Hoguin
2017-11-09Fix the introduction version for the new 2.1 functionsLoïc Hoguin
2017-11-01Add {switch_handler, Module} return value to cowboy_restLoïc Hoguin
Also {switch_handler, Module, Opts}. Allows switching to a different handler type. This is particularly useful for processing most of the request with cowboy_rest and then streaming the response body using cowboy_loop.
2017-10-29Add cowboy_req:inform/2,3Loïc Hoguin
User code can now send as many 1xx responses as necessary.
2017-10-25Introduce cowboy_req:sock/1 and cowboy_req:cert/1Loïc Hoguin
To obtain the local socket ip/port and the client TLS certificate, respectively.
2017-10-22Ensure stream terminate is called when switching protocolsLoïc Hoguin
2017-10-02Document cow_ws:frame in Cowboy for nowLoïc Hoguin
2017-10-02Fix the documentation for the command flowLoïc Hoguin

2017-09-05Add tests for direct Req accessLoïc Hoguin
2017-09-05Remove transfer-encoding parsing from cowboy_reqLoïc Hoguin
The header never reaches this point.
2017-09-04Accept sendfile tuple with 0 length in cowboy_reqLoïc Hoguin
This will result in no data being sent. It's simply easier to do this than to have to handle 0 size cases in user code.
