[99s-extend] timeouts and slow clients in cowboy loop handler

[Loïc Hoguin]

Loop handlers close after a while regardless of what you send, it only 
checks what the client sends. The best way for you would be to disable 
that timeout and handle it manually.

As for the second question, I'm still reading the thread on 
erlang-questions but I've seen some good ideas about timestamps so far.
