::: cowboy

The `cowboy` module provides convenience functions for
manipulating Ranch listeners.

:: Types

: http_headers() = [{binary(), iodata()}]

HTTP headers as a list of key/values.

: http_status() = non_neg_integer() | binary()

HTTP status.

A binary status can be used to set a custom message.

: http_version() = 'HTTP/1.1' | 'HTTP/1.0'

HTTP version.

: onrequest_fun() = fun((cowboy_req:req()) -> cowboy_req:req())

Fun called immediately after receiving a request.

It can perform any operation on the Req object, including
reading the request body or replying. If a reply is sent,
the processing of the request ends here, before any middleware
is executed.

: onresponse_fun() = fun((http_status(), http_headers(),
	iodata(), cowboy_req:req()) -> cowboy_req:req())

Fun called immediately before sending the response.

It can perform any operation on the Req object, including
reading the request body or replying. If a reply is sent, it
overrides the reply initially sent. The callback will not be
called again for the new reply.

:: Exports

: start_http(Ref, NbAcceptors, TransOpts, ProtoOpts) -> {ok, pid()}

Types:

* Ref = ranch:ref()
* NbAcceptors = non_neg_integer()
* TransOpts = ranch_tcp:opts()
* ProtoOpts = cowboy_protocol:opts()

Start listening for HTTP connections. Returns the pid for this
listener's supervisor.

: start_https(Ref, NbAcceptors, TransOpts, ProtoOpts) -> {ok, pid()}

Types:

* Ref = ranch:ref()
* NbAcceptors = non_neg_integer()
* TransOpts = ranch_ssl:opts()
* ProtoOpts = cowboy_protocol:opts()

Start listening for HTTPS connections. Returns the pid for this
listener's supervisor.

: start_spdy(Ref, NbAcceptors, TransOpts, ProtoOpts) -> {ok, pid()}

Types:

* Ref = ranch:ref()
* NbAcceptors = non_neg_integer()
* TransOpts = ranch_ssl:opts()
* ProtoOpts = cowboy_spdy:opts()

Start listening for SPDY connections. Returns the pid for this
listener's supervisor.

: stop_listener(Ref) -> ok | {error, not_found}

Types:

* Ref = ranch:ref()

Stop a previously started listener.

: set_env(Ref, Name, Value) -> ok

Types:

* Ref = ranch:ref()
* Name = atom()
* Value = any()

Set or update an environment value for an already running listener.
This will take effect on all subsequent connections.
