<PRE>thanks. Suppose my external process is registered and has a name, so I can
discover it by name from my cowboy request handler. when my cowboy handler
is invoked, can I just send the handler's process ID to the external
process? the question is then how does the external process know that the
http client has disconnected so that it can stop sending data to it.

</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> On init, register the process, and then handle the incoming message when
