In Cowboy, it is +also used when talking about HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/1.0. +It should not be confused with streaming the request +or response body.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>All versions of HTTP allow clients to initiate +streams. HTTP/2 is the only one also allowing servers, +through its server push feature. Both client and +server-initiated streams go through the same process +in Cowboy.</p></div> +<div class="sect1"> +<h2 id="_stream_handlers">Stream handlers</h2> +<div class="sectionbody"> +<div class="paragraph"><p>Stream handlers must implement five different callbacks. +Four of them are directly related; one is special.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>All callbacks receives the stream ID as first argument.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>Most of them can return a list of commands to be executed +by Cowboy. When callbacks are chained, it is possible to +intercept and modify these commands. This can be useful +for modifying responses for example.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>init/3</code> callback is invoked when a new request +comes in. It receives the Req object and the protocol options +for this listener.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>data/4</code> callback is invoked when data from the request +body is received. It receives both this data and a flag +indicating whether more is to be expected.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>info/3</code> callback is invoked when an Erlang message is +received for this stream. They will typically be messages +sent by the request process.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>Finally the <code>terminate/3</code> callback is invoked with the +terminate reason for the stream. The return value is ignored. +Note that as with all terminate callbacks in Erlang, there +is no strong guarantee that it will be called.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p>The special callback <code>early_error/5</code> is called when an error +occurs before the request headers were fully received and +Cowboy is sending a response. It receives the partial Req +object, the error reason, the protocol options and the response +Cowboy will send. This response must be returned, possibly +modified.</p></div> +</div> +</div> +<div class="sect1"> +<h2 id="_built_in_handlers">Built-in handlers</h2> +<div class="sectionbody"> +<div class="paragraph"><p>Cowboy comes with two handlers.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p><code>cowboy_stream_h</code> is the default stream handler. +It is the core of much of the functionality of Cowboy. +All chains of stream handlers should call it last.</p></div> +<div class="paragraph"><p><code>cowboy_compress_h</code> will automatically compress +responses when possible. It is not enabled by default. +It is a good example for writing your own handlers +that will modify responses.</p></div> +</div> +</div> + + + + + + + + + + + <nav style="margin:1em 0"> + + <a style="float:left" href="https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.2/guide/ws_handlers/"> + Websocket handlers + </a> + + + + <a style="float:right" href="https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.2/guide/middlewares/"> + Middlewares + </a> + + </nav> + + + + +</div> + +<div class="span3 sidecol"> + + +<h3> + Cowboy + 2.2 + + User Guide +</h3> + +<ul> + + <li><a href="/docs/en/cowboy/2.2/guide">User Guide</a></li> + + + <li><a href="/docs/en/cowboy/2.2/manual">Function Reference</a></li> + + +</ul> + +<h4 id="docs-nav">Navigation</h4> + +<h4>Version select</h4> +<ul> + + + + <li><a href="/docs/en/cowboy/2.2/guide">2.2</a></li> + + <li><a href="/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide">2.1</a></li> + + <li><a href="/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide">2.0</a></li> + + <li><a href="/docs/en/cowboy/1.0/guide">1.0</a></li> + +</ul> + +</div> +</div> +</div> +</div> + + <footer> + <div class="container"> + <div class="row"> + <div class="span6"> + <p id="scroll-top"><a href="#">↑ Scroll to top</a></p> + <nav> + <ul> + <li><a href="mailto:[email protected]" title="Contact us">Contact us</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/ninenines/ninenines.github.io" title="Github repository">Contribute to this site</a></li> + </ul> + </nav> + </div> + <div class="span6 credits"> + <p><img src="/img/footer_logo.png"></p> + <p>Copyright © Loïc Hoguin 2012-2016</p> + </div> + </div> + </div> + </footer> + + + <script src="/js/custom.js"></script> + </body> +</html> + + |
