<PRE>ok. the data that I need to send are coming as erlang messages to the
process that runs my handler. so it sounds like if I want to use the
"normal" cowboy_http_handler, then I need a receive loop inside handle(Req,
State) callback, right? Basically, my response stream will potentially
never end, I do not know how to handle this properly in cowboy...

><i> Loop handlers are designed to wait for a long time with the socket *idle*
</I>><i> and then eventually send one response then close the socket. Things like
</I>><i> long-polling.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> What you are doing is just streaming, for which you do not need a timeout
</I>><i> because the socket isn't idle. You are just sending a large response, and
</I>><i> normal handlers are perfectly capable of doing that.
