But really gproc does all that for you and is already well tested.

</I>&gt;<i>         I am new to cowboy, I have a process that runs alongside a
</I>&gt;<i>         cowboy server
</I>&gt;<i>         and this process needs to periodically send text to all http clients
</I>&gt;<i>         connected to the cowboy server. My goal is to have a streaming
</I>&gt;<i>         connection for each http client so that I could stream text to
</I>&gt;<i>         them from
</I>&gt;<i>         my process. how is this done?
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>     Same answer really. You need some kind of process registry, like
</I>&gt;<i>     gproc properties for example, that will store all Pids and allow you
</I>&gt;<i>     to send a message to all of them.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>     On init, register the process, and then handle the incoming message
</I>&gt;<i>     when it arrives.
