2019-07-16Make Cowboy compatible with upcoming Ranch 2.0juhlig
2018-10-30Initial support for the PROXY protocol headerLoïc Hoguin
Depend on Ranch master for now since it isn't in any release yet.
2017-09-14Rework the proc_lib_hackLoïc Hoguin
It is completely removed for connection processes, because assuming Cowboy is written properly this should bring us nothing anymore in 2.0. It is reworked for request processes, there we want to always propagate the stacktrace (including for exits) because we will print a report to help with debugging and proc_lib doesn't propagate it for exits. At the same time the initial callback for connection and request processes has been changed to connection_process and request_process, which should help with identifying processes when inspecting.
2017-01-16Add support for multiple stream handlersLoïc Hoguin
The stream handlers can be specified using the protocol option 'stream_handlers'. It defaults to [cowboy_stream_h]. The cowboy_stream_h module currently does not forward the calls to further stream handlers. It feels like an edge case; usually we'd want to put our own handlers between the protocol code and the request process. I am therefore going to focus on other things for now. The various types and specifications for stream handlers have been updated and the cowboy_stream module can now be safely used as a behavior. The interface might change a little more, though. This commit does not include tests or documentation. They will follow separately.

2016-06-13Fix streaming HTTP/2 responsesLoïc Hoguin
Error reporting for connection processes has been improved, using a similar proc_lib hack as was done for the stream processes.
2016-03-05Initial commit with connection/streamsLoïc Hoguin
Breaking changes with previous commit. This is a very large change, and I am giving up on making a single commit that fixes everything. More commits will follow slowly adding back features, introducing new tests and fixing the documentation. This change contains most of the work toward unifying the interface for handling both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. HTTP/1.1 connections are now no longer 1 process per connection; instead by default 1 process per request is also created. This has a number of pros and cons. Because it has cons, we also allow users to use a lower-level API that acts on "streams" (requests/responses) directly at the connection process-level. If performance is a concern, one can always write a stream handler. The performance in this case will be even greater than with Cowboy 1, although all the special handlers are unavailable. When switching to Websocket, after the handler returns from init/2, Cowboy stops the stream and the Websocket protocol takes over the connection process. Websocket then calls websocket_init/2 for any additional initialization such as timers, because the process is different in init/2 and websocket_*/* functions. This however would allow us to use websocket_init/2 for sending messages on connect, instead of sending ourselves a message and be subject to races. Note that websocket_init/2 is optional. This is all a big change and while most of the tests pass, some functionality currently doesn't. SPDY is broken and will be removed soon in favor of HTTP/2. Automatic compression is currently disabled. The cowboy_req interface probably still have a few functions that need to be updated. The docs and examples do not refer the current functionality anymore. Everything will be fixed over time. Feedback is more than welcome. Open a ticket!
