+is returned when more data remains to be read. Call the function
+repeatedly until an <code>ok</code> tuple is returned to read the entire body.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>An <code>ok</code> tuple with empty data is returned when the request has no body,
+or when calling this function again after the body has already
+been read. It is therefore safe to call this function directly.
+Note that the body can only be read once.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>This function reads the request body from the connection process.
+The connection process is responsible for reading from the socket.
+The exact behavior varies depending on the protocol.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The options therefore are only related to the communication
+between the request process and the connection process.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Cowboy will automatically handle protocol details including
+the expect header, chunked transfer-encoding and others.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Once the body has been read fully, Cowboy sets the content-length
+header if it was not previously provided.</p></div>

+may send more data than configured on occasions. It defaults

+<div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>period</code> indicates how long the connection process will wait
+before it provides us with the data it received. It defaults
+to 15 seconds.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The connection process sends data to the request process when
+either the <code>length</code> of data or the <code>period</code> of time is reached.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>timeout</code> option is a safeguard in case the connection
+process becomes unresponsive. The function will crash if no
+message was received in that interval. The timeout should be
