cowboy - Small, fast, modular HTTP server.

The cowboy application uses the Erlang applications ranch for listening and accepting TCP connections, crypto for establishing Websocket connections, and cowlib for parsing and building messages for Web protocols. These dependencies must be loaded for the cowboy application to work. In an embedded environment this means that they need to be started with the application:start/{1,2} function before the cowboy application is started.

The cowboy application also uses the Erlang applications asn1, public_key and ssl when listening for HTTPS connections. These are started automatically if they weren’t before.

The cowboy application does not define any application environment configuration parameters.
