Introduction

+ +

Cowboy is a small, fast and modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP.

+

Cowboy aims to provide a complete modern Web stack. +This includes HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, Websocket, Server-Sent Events and +Webmachine-based REST.

+

Cowboy comes with functions for introspection and tracing, enabling +developers to know precisely what is happening at any time. Its modular +design also easily enable developers to add instrumentation.

+

Cowboy is a high quality project. It has a small code base, is very +efficient (both in latency and memory use) and can easily be embedded +in another application.

+

Cowboy is clean Erlang code. It includes hundreds of tests and its code +is fully compliant with the Dialyzer. It is also well documented and +features a Function Reference, a User Guide and numerous Tutorials.

+
+

Prerequisites

+
+

Beginner Erlang knowledge is recommended for reading this guide.

+

Knowledge of the HTTP protocol is recommended but not required, as it +will be detailed throughout the guide.

+
+
+
+

Supported platforms

+
+

Cowboy is tested and supported on Linux, FreeBSD, Windows and OSX.

+

Cowboy has been reported to work on other platforms, but we make no +guarantee that the experience will be safe and smooth. You are advised +to perform the necessary testing and security audits prior to deploying +on other platforms.

+

Cowboy is developed for Erlang/OTP 19.0 and newer.

Versioning

+
+

Cowboy uses Semantic Versioning 2.0.0.

+
+
+
+

Conventions

+
+

In the HTTP protocol, the method name is case sensitive. All standard +method names are uppercase.

+

Header names are case insensitive. When using HTTP/1.1, Cowboy converts +all the request header names to lowercase. HTTP/2 requires clients to +send them as lowercase. Any other header name is expected to be provided +lowercased, including when querying information about the request or +when sending responses.

+

The same applies to any other case insensitive value.
