-Cowboy POST Echo
-================
+POST parameter echo example
+===========================
 
-To compile this example you need rebar in your PATH.
+To try this example, you need GNU `make`, `git` and
+[relx](https://github.com/erlware/relx) in your PATH.
 
-Type the following command:
-```
-$ rebar get-deps compile
-```
+To build the example, run the following command:
 
-You can then start the Erlang node with the following command:
-```
-./start.sh
+``` bash
+$ make
 ```
 
-Then point your browser to the indicated URL. You can change
-the GET parameter to check that the handler is echoing properly.
+To start the release in the foreground:
 
-Then run the following command, replacing STRING_TO_ECHO by the
-string you want to echo. Check the ```curl_post.sh``` file for details.
-
-```
-./curl_post.sh STRING_TO_ECHO
+``` bash
+$ ./_rel/bin/echo_post_example console
 ```
 
-Example
--------
+As this example echoes a POST parameter, it is a little more
+complex to test. Some browsers feature tools that allow you
+to perform one such request, or you can use the command line
+tool `curl` as we will demonstrate.
+
+Example output
+--------------
 
 ``` bash
 $ curl -i -d echo=echomeplz http://localhost:8080
