2014-06-04Add a REST principles chapter to the guideLoïc Hoguin
This is a complex subject so hopefully I did not introduce errors while trying to explain it.
2014-03-03Update and improve Websocket chapters in the guideLoïc Hoguin
2014-02-06Add and document the new multipart codeLoïc Hoguin
The old undocumented API is removed entirely. While a documentation exists for the new API, it will not be considered set in stone until further testing has been performed, and a file upload example has been added. The new API should be a little more efficient than the old API, especially with smaller messages.
2013-11-02Review, improve and document the static files handlerLoïc Hoguin
Changes include: * Much simplified route configuration. * Etag generation is now enabled by default. * Web mimetypes are now detected by default. A bigger list of mimetypes can be detected without any additional library. * Mimetypes can no longer be specified as a list. Copying this list for new connections is too costy. You can easily convert it into a function and pass that function to the handler instead. * You can however specify a single hardcoded mimetype. Mostly useful when serving a single file, like an index.html file, to avoid extra operations. * Specifying a path as a list of tokens is not possible anymore. Use either a binary or a string. * Using a private directory will not work if the application was not started properly. Cowboy will not attempt to find the location of this directory if the VM doesn't know it, as this caused issues in some setups. * Overall the code has been much simplified and clarified, and of course has now been documented.
