2017-05-28Introduce the req_filter Websocket optionLoïc Hoguin
This option allows customizing the compacting of the Req object when using Websocket. By default it will keep most public fields excluding headers of course, since those can be large.
2017-05-20Add another RFC to the list of specsLoïc Hoguin
2017-05-05Add inactivity_timeout and other options improvementsLoïc Hoguin
2017-05-03Add the idle_timeout HTTP/1.1 protocol optionLoïc Hoguin
This fixes the connection being dropped because of request_timeout despite there being some active streams.
2017-04-18Update Websocket handler docs default timeoutGary Rennie
This was changed from infinity to 60s in a45813c60f0f983a24ea29d491b37f0590fdd087
2017-04-18Pass the HTTP/2 switch_protocol event to stream handlersLoïc Hoguin
To accomplish this the code for sending the 101 response was moved to the cowboy_http2 module.
2017-04-18Add more RFCs to the specs listLoïc Hoguin
2017-04-10Initial cowboy_stream manualLoïc Hoguin
2017-03-20Add a guide chapter linking to all specsLoïc Hoguin
2017-02-19Change the type of bindings from a list to a mapLoïc Hoguin
Maps make more sense because the keys are unique.
2017-02-19Change the order of set_resp_cookie argumentsLoïc Hoguin
The Opts value is put last, to be more consistent with the rest of the cowboy_req module. Additionally a test handler was fixed which reduced the number of errors in http_SUITE.
2017-02-19Change the type of cookie name to binary()Loïc Hoguin
The API will be more consistent like this, and we can ensure that duplicate cookie names are never sent.
2017-02-18Allow passing options to sub protocolsLoïc 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.

2016-09-25Fix whitespace in exampleLoïc Hoguin
2016-09-25Update manual for the cowboy moduleLoïc Hoguin
This commit separates the documentation of the functions into separate manual pages, with at least one example per function and a lot more details about parameters, return values and related functions and modules. It also includes a changelog indicating when the function was added or changed. The inspiration for this comes mainly from the PHP documentation and feedback from users.
