+
+Configuration for the HTTP/1.1 protocol.
+
+This configuration is passed to Cowboy when starting listeners
+using `cowboy:start_clear/4` or `cowboy:start_tls/4` functions.
+
+It can be updated without restarting listeners using the
+Ranch functions `ranch:get_protocol_options/1` and
+`ranch:set_protocol_options/2`.
