+<div class="paragraph"><p>It uses only one process per connection. The process where your
+code runs is the process controlling the socket. Using one process
+instead of two allows for lower memory usage.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Because there can be more than one request per connection with the
+keepalive feature of HTTP/1.1, that means the same process will be
+used to handle many requests.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Because of this, you are expected to make sure your process cleans
+up before terminating the handling of the current request. This may
+include cleaning up the process dictionary, timers, monitoring and
+more.</p></div>

+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>It uses binaries. Binaries are more efficient than lists for

+<h2 id="_date_header">Date header</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Because querying for the current date and time can be expensive,
+Cowboy generates one <code>Date</code> header value every second, shares it
+to all other processes, which then simply copy it in the response.
+This allows compliance with HTTP/1.1 with no actual performance loss.</p></div>

+too many processes performing potentially heavy work and slowing
+everything else down, or taking up all the memory.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Disabling this feature, by setting the <code>{max_connections, infinity}</code>
+protocol option, would give you greater performance when you are

+<div class="paragraph"><p>It will work regardless of your project: OTP applications,

+Erlang.mk also automatically downloads and compiles the
+dependencies for your project.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>All this is possible thanks to a combination of configuration

+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang.mk gives you control over three steps of the build
+process, allowing you to do a partial build if needed.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>A build has three phases: first any dependency is fetched
+and built, then the project itself is built and finally a
+release may be generated when applicable. A release is only
+generated for projects specifically configured to do so.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang.mk handles those three phases automatically when you
+type <code>make</code>. But sometimes you just want to repeat one or
+two of them.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The commands detailed in this section are most useful after
+you have a successful build as they allow you to quickly
+redo a step instead of going through everything. This is
+especially useful for large projects or projects that end
+up generating releases.</p></div>

+<div class="paragraph"><p>A Gun connection is an Erlang process that manages a socket to

+managed by the supervision tree of the <code>gun</code> application.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The owner process communicates with the Gun connection
+by calling functions from the module <code>gun</code>. All functions

+stuck waiting for a message that will never come.</p></div>

+basis rather than on every message you will receive, saving

+HTTP protocol. Most widely used clients, like browsers,
+follow the standard quite well, but others may not. In
+particular custom enterprise clients tend to be very badly
+written.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Cowboy tries to follow the standard as much as possible,
+but is not trying to handle every possible special cases.
+Instead Cowboy focuses on the cases reported in the wild,
+on the public Web.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>That means clients that ignore the HTTP standard completely
+may fail to understand Cowboy&#8217;s responses. There are of
+course workarounds. This chapter aims to cover them.</p></div>

+<h2 id="_lowercase_headers">Lowercase headers</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Cowboy converts all headers it receives to lowercase, and
+similarly sends back headers all in lowercase. Some broken
+HTTP clients have issues with that.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>A simple way to solve this is to create an <code>onresponse</code> hook
+that will format the header names with the expected case.</p></div>

+you must answer in order to write a good resource handler.
+It is meant to be usable as a step by step guide.</p></div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_the_service">The service</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Can the service become unavailable, and when it does, can
+we detect it? For example, database connectivity problems
+may be detected early. We may also have planned outages
+of all or parts of the system. Implement the
+<code>service_available</code> callback.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>What HTTP methods does the service implement? Do we need
+more than the standard OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, PUT, POST,
+PATCH and DELETE? Are we not using one of those at all?
+Implement the <code>known_methods</code> callback.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_type_of_resource_handler">Type of resource handler</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Am I writing a handler for a collection of resources,
+or for a single resource?</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The semantics for each of these are quite different.
+You should not mix collection and single resource in
+the same handler.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_collection_handler">Collection handler</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Skip this section if you are not doing a collection.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Is the collection hardcoded or dynamic? For example,
+if you use the route <code>/users</code> for the collection of
+users then the collection is hardcoded; if you use
+<code>/forums/:category</code> for the collection of threads
+then it isn&#8217;t. When the collection is hardcoded you
+can safely assume the resource always exists.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>What methods should I implement?</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>OPTIONS is used to get some information about the
+collection. It is recommended to allow it even if you
+do not implement it, as Cowboy has a default
+implementation built-in.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>HEAD and GET are used to retrieve the collection.
+If you allow GET, also allow HEAD as there&#8217;s no extra
+work required to make it work.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>POST is used to create a new resource inside the
+collection. Creating a resource by using POST on
+the collection is useful when resources may be
+created before knowing their URI, usually because
+parts of it are generated dynamically. A common
+case is some kind of auto incremented integer
+identifier.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The next methods are more rarely allowed.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>PUT is used to create a new collection (when
+the collection isn&#8217;t hardcoded), or replace
+the entire collection.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>DELETE is used to delete the entire collection.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>PATCH is used to modify the collection using
+instructions given in the request body. A PATCH
+operation is atomic. The PATCH operation may
+be used for such things as reordering; adding,
+modifying or deleting parts of the collection.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_single_resource_handler">Single resource handler</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Skip this section if you are doing a collection.</p></div>

+already exist) or replace the resource.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>DELETE is used to delete the resource.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>PATCH is used to modify the resource using
+instructions given in the request body. A PATCH
+operation is atomic. The PATCH operation may
+be used for adding, removing or modifying specific
+values in the resource.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_the_resource">The resource</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Following the above discussion, implement the
+<code>allowed_methods</code> callback.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Does the resource always exist? If it may not, implement
+the <code>resource_exists</code> callback.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Do I need to authenticate the client before they can
+access the resource? What authentication mechanisms
+should I provide? This may include form-based, token-based
+(in the URL or a cookie), HTTP basic, HTTP digest,
+SSL certificate or any other form of authentication.
+Implement the <code>is_authorized</code> callback.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Do I need fine-grained access control? How do I determine
+that they are authorized access? Handle that in your
+<code>is_authorized</code> callback.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Can access to a resource be forbidden regardless of access
+being authorized? A simple example of that is censorship
+of a resource. Implement the <code>forbidden</code> callback.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Are there any constraints on the length of the resource URI?
+For example, the URI may be used as a key in storage and may
+have a limit in length. Implement <code>uri_too_long</code>.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_representations">Representations</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>What media types do I provide? If text based, what charsets
+are provided? What languages do I provide?</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Implement the mandatory <code>content_types_provided</code>. Prefix
+the callbacks with <code>to_</code> for clarity. For example, <code>to_html</code>
+or <code>to_text</code>.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Implement the <code>languages_provided</code> or <code>charsets_provided</code>
+callbacks if applicable.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Is there any other header that may make the representation
+of the resource vary? Implement the <code>variances</code> callback.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Depending on your choices for caching content, you may
+want to implement one or more of the <code>generate_etag</code>,
+<code>last_modified</code> and <code>expires</code> callbacks.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Do I want the user or user agent to actively choose a
+representation available? Send a list of available
+representations in the response body and implement
+the <code>multiple_choices</code> callback.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_redirections">Redirections</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Do I need to keep track of what resources were deleted?
+For example, you may have a mechanism where moving a
+resource leaves a redirect link to its new location.
+Implement the <code>previously_existed</code> callback.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Was the resource moved, and is the move temporary? If
+it is explicitly temporary, for example due to maintenance,
+implement the <code>moved_temporarily</code> callback. Otherwise,
+implement the <code>moved_permanently</code> callback.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_the_request">The request</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Do we need to perform extra checks to make sure the request
+is valid? Cowboy will do many checks when receiving the
+request already, do we need more? Note that this only
+applies to the request-line and headers of the request,
+and not the body. Implement <code>malformed_request</code>.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>May there be a request body? Will I know its size?
+What&#8217;s the maximum size of the request body I&#8217;m willing
+to accept? Implement <code>valid_entity_length</code>.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Finally, take a look at the sections corresponding to the
+methods you are implementing.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_options_method">OPTIONS method</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Cowboy by default will send back a list of allowed methods.
+Do I need to add more information to the response? Implement
+the <code>options</code> method.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_get_and_head_methods">GET and HEAD methods</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>If you implement the methods GET and/or HEAD, you must
+implement one <code>ProvideResource</code> callback for each
+content-type returned by the <code>content_types_provided</code>
+callback.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_put_post_and_patch_methods">PUT, POST and PATCH methods</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>If you implement the methods PUT, POST and/or PATCH,
+you must implement the <code>content_types_accepted</code> callback,
+and one <code>AcceptResource</code> callback for each content-type
+it returns. Prefix the <code>AcceptResource</code> callback names
+with <code>from_</code> for clarity. For example, <code>from_html</code> or
+<code>from_json</code>.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Do we want to allow the POST method to create individual
+resources directly through their URI (like PUT)? Implement
+the <code>allow_missing_post</code> callback. It is recommended to
+explicitly use PUT in these cases instead.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>May there be conflicts when using PUT to create or replace
+a resource? Do we want to make sure that two updates around
+the same time are not cancelling one another? Implement the
+<code>is_conflict</code> callback.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_delete_methods">DELETE methods</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>If you implement the method DELETE, you must implement
+the <code>delete_resource</code> callback.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>When <code>delete_resource</code> returns, is the resource completely
+removed from the server, including from any caching service?
+If not, and/or if the deletion is asynchronous and we have
+no way of knowing it has been completed yet, implement the
+<code>delete_completed</code> callback.</p></div>

+program. It does so using a technique known as success
+typing analysis which has the advantage of providing no
+false positives. Dialyzer is able to detect type errors,
+dead code and more.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang.mk provides a wrapper around Dialyzer.</p></div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_how_it_works">How it works</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Dialyzer requires a PLT file to work. The PLT file contains
+the analysis information from all applications which are not
+expected to change, or rarely do. These would be all the
+dependencies of the application or applications you are
+currently working on, including standard applications in
+Erlang/OTP itself.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Dialyzer can generate this PLT file. Erlang.mk includes rules
+to automatically generate the PLT file when it is missing.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Once the PLT file is generated, Dialyzer can perform the
+analysis in record time.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_configuration">Configuration</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>In a typical usage scenario, no variable needs to be set.
+The defaults should be enough. Do note however that the
+dependencies need to be set properly using the <code>DEPS</code> and
+<code>LOCAL_DEPS</code> variables.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>DIALYZER_PLT</code> file indicates where the PLT file will
+be written to (and read from). By default this is
+<em>$(PROJECT).plt</em> in the project&#8217;s directory. Note that
+the <code>DIALYZER_PLT</code> variable is exported and is understood
+by Dialyzer directly.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>PLT_APPS</code> variable can be used to add additional
+applications to the PLT. You can either list application
+names or paths to these applications.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang.mk defines two variables for specifying options
+for the analysis: <code>DIALYZER_DIRS</code> and <code>DIALYZER_OPTS</code>.
+The former one defines which directories should be part
+of the analysis. The latter defines what extra warnings
+Dialyzer should report.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Note that Erlang.mk enables the race condition warnings
+by default. As it can take considerably large resources
+to run, you may want to disable it on larger projects.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_usage">Usage</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
