The path segments . and .. are now removed according to the
rules found in RFC3986.
The path segments are now percent-decoded using the correct
algorithm (the one in RFC3986 and not the "query string" one).

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!

Now everywhere in Cowboy when we want to stop something we return
a 'stop' tuple instead of one of the many choices depending on
context that we had before.
This particular change affects middlewares, sub protocols and
REST handlers which were using 'halt' to stop processing.
|
|
We don't need the extra check for multiple of 8 bits.
|
|
|
|
It wasn't interesting compared to simply returning a halt tuple
with an explicit reply.
|
|
This makes routing more in line with the rest of Cowboy and
allows us to use cowboy_constraints directly.
|
|
Simplify the interface for most cowboy_req functions. They all return
a single value except the four body reading functions. The reply functions
now only return a Req value.
Access functions do not return a Req anymore.
Functions that used to cache results do not have a cache anymore.
The interface for accessing query string and cookies has therefore
been changed.
There are now three query string functions: qs/1 provides access
to the raw query string value; parse_qs/1 returns the query string
as a list of key/values; match_qs/2 returns a map containing the
values requested in the second argument, after applying constraints
and default value.
Similarly, there are two cookie functions: parse_cookies/1 and
match_cookies/2. More match functions will be added in future commits.
None of the functions return an error tuple anymore. It either works
or crashes. Cowboy will attempt to provide an appropriate status code
in the response of crashed handlers.
As a result, the content decode function has its return value changed
to a simple binary, and the body reading functions only return on success.

Instead of relying on the encoding of the file we now simply
have list of numbers as they would be inside a latin1 file.
|
|
Use cow_qs:urldecode/1 and cow_qs:urlencode/1 instead

This is more for consistency than anything.

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.
|
|
Types and code are moved to cowboy_router. The match/3 export
from cowboy_dispatcher isn't available anymore as it is called
internally.
|
|
Middlewares allow customizing the request processing.
All existing Cowboy project are incompatible with this commit.
You need to change `{dispatch, Dispatch}` in the protocol options
to `{env, [{dispatch, Dispatch}]}` to fix your code.
