<PRE>Hi everyone, newb questions here:

Is the reason why the type specification for the init callback lists
various &quot;{loop,...&quot; tuples, because a single module can implement
cowboy_loop_handler and cowboy_http_handler?
And this way, a dializier warning will not be triggered?
<A HREF="https://github.com/extend/cowboy/blob/master/src/cowboy_http_handler.erl#L39">https://github.com/extend/cowboy/blob/master/src/cowboy_http_handler.erl#L39</A>

Because looking at the handler code,
<A HREF="https://github.com/extend/cowboy/blob/master/src/cowboy_protocol.erl#L473">https://github.com/extend/cowboy/blob/master/src/cowboy_protocol.erl#L473</A> if
the {loop, * is returned from init, then the handle(Req, State) will not be
processed.

Also, is it safe to say that Handler:init is like &quot;before&quot; in lot's of web
frameworks. I can place validation\authentication logic there.

Sincerely,

-rambocoder
