2013-09-07Much improved Getting started chapterLoïc Hoguin
We now describe how to build a hello world application from start to finish, including setting up erlang.mk for building, and using relx for generating the release. All concepts are not explained in details of course, but we don't need to at this point, we just want things to be working.
2013-09-04Make cowlib a proper dependencyLoïc Hoguin
Start moving a few functions from Cowboy into cowlib.

2013-06-23Reword the clean erlang code partLoïc Hoguin
We don't care about parameterized modules anymore. They're gone!
2013-05-16Make the HTTP version type more practicalLoïc Hoguin
Now instead of {1, 1} we have 'HTTP/1.1', and instead of {1, 0} we have 'HTTP/1.0'. This is more efficient, easier to read in crash logs, and clearer in the code.
2013-05-15Remove cowboy_req:fragment/1Loïc Hoguin
Clients do not send it. We skip the value if we receive it now, as it shouldn't happen, and won't for all the mainstream clients.
2013-04-26Fix a small error in the REST part of the guideLoïc Hoguin
2013-04-26Update the REST chapter of the guideLoïc Hoguin
2013-04-25Improve static file handler guide chapterLoïc Hoguin
Add more infos about MIME types and the file option.
2013-04-25Document meta values set by RESTLoïc Hoguin
You can use these values to perform a reply using the negotiated content-type and language for non-HEAD/GET methods.
2013-04-19Add section about REST methodsLoïc Hoguin
2013-04-12Add default operations for OPTIONS method in RESTLoïc Hoguin
It defaults to setting the Allow header to "HEAD, GET, OPTIONS".
2013-04-11Merge branch 'eventsource-helper' of git://github.com/jdavisp3/cowboyLoïc Hoguin
2013-04-11Fix static handler snippet in the guideLoïc Hoguin
Thanks to Martin Törnwall for pointing this out.
2013-04-11First draft of the REST chapter in the guideLoïc Hoguin
2013-04-11Remove cowboy_req:peer_addr/1Loïc Hoguin
This kind of function is highly dependent on the proxy used, therefore parsing was added for x-forwarded-for instead and we just let users write the function that works for them. The code can be easily extracted if anyone was using the function.
2013-04-06Add a reference to an eventsource helper utility.Dave Peticolas
2013-04-03Update Ranch to 0.8.0Loïc Hoguin
2013-04-02Replace init_stream/5 with stream_body/2Loïc Hoguin
This allows us to change the max chunk length on a per chunk basis instead of for the whole stream. It's also much easier to use this way even if we don't want to change the chunk size.
2013-03-22Add a guide section for resource linksLoïc Hoguin
2013-03-06Check the length before reading the body in body/1 and body_qs/1rambocoder
2013-03-05Make streamed chunk size configurableLoïc Hoguin
Defaults to a maximum of 1000000 bytes. Also standardize the te_identity and te_chunked decoding functions. Now they both try to read as much as possible (up to the limit), making body reading much faster when not using chunked encoding.
2013-03-02Describe arguments of the HTTP handler callbacksLoïc Hoguin
2013-03-02Explain what are listeners and acceptors in Getting StartedLoïc Hoguin

2013-02-11Fix examples in cowboy_static edoc and guideAdam Cammack
2013-02-11Add a few directions in the REST chapter in the guideLoïc Hoguin
This is obviously not proper documentation. We will properly document it when the API stabilizes.
2013-01-31Small routing guide fixIvan Lisenkov
Make cowboy_router:compile/1 return to be consistent with current implementation.

Reported by Michel Rijnders.

2013-01-28Add the 'int' constraintLoïc Hoguin
2013-01-28New routingLoïc Hoguin
Ultimately few things change, it's mostly just a nicer syntax and slightly different expectations. The name of the value `dispatch` did not change, because the previous dispatch values will now fail if the code is not updated to using `cowboy_router:compile/1`. No constraints have been implemented in this commit.
2013-01-22Replace terminate/2 with terminate/3, adding a ReasonLoïc Hoguin
This should have been done a *long* time ago, back when I initially added Websocket support. This is the first part of two in improving loop handler support with regards to socket closure. Reason may include: {normal, shutdown} for the most normal shutdown, {normal, timeout} for a loop handler timeout shutdown, or {error, _} if an error occured.
