<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>the documentation for `init` at <a href="http://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/HEAD/manual/cowboy_loop_handler">http://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/HEAD/manual/cowboy_loop_handler</a> says:</div>
<div><br></div><div>The receive loop will run for a duration of up to Timeout milliseconds after it last received data from the socket, at which point it will stop and send a 204 No Content reply.<br></div><div><br></div>
<div>What socket does it refer to? I had an impression that the loop handles erlang messages. Do these messages come through a socket (sorry about a trivial question, but I am new to erlang), and this is the socket that the docs talk about?</div>
<div><br></div><div>The reason why I am asking is because I used to have a Timeout of 60000, and even though messages kept coming non stop, it still kept disconnecting after a minute, until I set Timeout to infinity.</div>
<div><br></div><div>thanks</div><div>Konstantin</div></div>
