2011-04-12	Fix a pattern matching bug in cowboy_http_protocol:handler_init/2.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-04-09	Limit the number of empty lines to allow before the request-line.	Loïc Hoguin
	Defaults to 5. Prevents someone from indefinitely sending empty lines.
2011-04-07	Don't crash on errors while receiving headers; throw an error 500 instead.	Loïc Hoguin
	The server shouldn't crash the request process when we have an error while receiving headers. A case where this could happen is if the header line is too long. See also bfrog's report on ticket #3 on github.
2011-04-05	Don't automatically retrieve the peer information for the 'OPTIONS' method.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-04-05	Handle properly the default Connection value for HTTP/1.0.	Loïc Hoguin
	Fixes a bug reported by evaxsoftware on IRC.
2011-03-27	Use a more efficient variant of string:to_lower to improve performance.	Loïc Hoguin
	After much testing and experimentation of all kinds I find lists to be both faster and using less memory than binaries for request-line and headers handling. This is more than likely due to the fact that headers are very short and thus do not benefit from the advantages of refc binaries, meaning they're copied, just like lists. The memory usage discrepancy is still a mystery for the most part, although the hoops needed to perform operations on the binaries are probably responsible for the extra memory use. I'm thus giving up on trying to use binaries for request-line and headers. Instead, this commit improves performances even more to the lists code, making lists 5% faster than binaries. Lists are easier to work with too, so I guess it's all a big win for everyone. Of course the request body is still read as a binary, we're using the binary type where it performs best.
2011-03-27	Match early in connection_to_atom for a small performance improvement.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-22	Allow Handler:init/3 to request a protocol upgrade.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-22	Forward transport and protocol name to Handler:init.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-22	Explicitly ignore the return value of cowboy_http_req:reply in error_response.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-21	Fix spec for cowboy_http_protocol:init/3.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-21	Introduce cowboy_http_req:body/1 to read the full request body.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-21	Make sure error_response always returns ok.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-21	Add specs to ensure_response and change the clauses order.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-21	Skip the request body if it hasn't been read by the handler.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-20	Ensure a response is sent when the handler doesn't reply anything.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-20	Move the error response code into a separate function.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-20	Make sure we can only reply to an HTTP request inside Handler:handle.	Loïc Hoguin
	Of course since requests are a record the response state can be explicitly overriden, but standard use prevents errors by making sure only one reply is sent.
2011-03-20	Lazy-retrieve the peer name and port to avoid wasting time each request.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-20	Change a @todo for Handler:init possible return values.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-20	Rename a variable in cowboy_http_protocol for clarity.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-20	Allow code reloading inside the cowboy_http_protocol module during keep-alive.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-20	Default the connection to keep-alive on HTTP/1.1 and close on 1.0.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-20	Save the raw path string in the request.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-19	Save the raw host string in the request.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-19	Protect the calls to the handler using catch.	Loïc Hoguin
	* Handler:init shouldn't reply anything; send an error 500. * Handler:handle may have sent something to the client; close the socket. * Handler:terminate failed to clean itself up. Close the socket.
2011-03-19	Add support for the '*' path.	Loïc Hoguin
	Mostly used by the following request: OPTIONS * HTTP/1.1
2011-03-19	Rewrite the dispatcher to take a list of host each having a list of paths.	Loïc Hoguin
	* Makes more sense to parse the host only once instead of for each path. * Allows proper handling of: If the host is not a valid host on the server, the response MUST be a 400 (Bad Request) error.
2011-03-19	Ignore all extra Host values sent in the request.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-19	Reply with error 501 on all non absolute path URIs for now.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-19	Reply with error 400 on all bad Request-Lines received.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-19	Ignore empty lines when expecting the Request-Line.	Loïc Hoguin
	In the interest of robustness, servers SHOULD ignore any empty line(s) received where a Request-Line is expected. In other words, if the server is reading the protocol stream at the beginning of a message and receives a CRLF first, it should ignore the CRLF.
2011-03-19	Comparisons of host names MUST be case-insensitive.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-19	Notify the client that we're closing the connection after the error reply.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-18	Move the reply function to cowboy_http_req.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-18	Introduce Handler:terminate to cleanup the handler's state.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-18	Handler:init/2 should also return the Request in case it changed.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-18	Introduce Handler:init/2 for initializing the handler state.	Loïc Hoguin
	We need an init function in order to process upgrade instructions for protocols like WebSockets, but also to request an active receive mode for long-polling connections, both of which will be implemented at a later time.
2011-03-17	Remove a superfluous terminate call in error_terminate.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-17	Run the dispatcher as early as possible to quickly dismiss 404 errors.	Loïc Hoguin

2011-03-17	Initial commit.	Loïc Hoguin
