While it will currently work with GNU Make 3.81, support for this version is deprecated and will be removed in 2017. We recommend GNU Make 4.1 or later. Git and Erlang/OTP must also be installed. Some functionality requires that Autoconf 2.59 or later be installed, in order to compile Erlang/OTP. Erlang/OTP may have further requirements depending on your needs. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/gun/1.0/guide/introduction/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/gun/1.0/guide/introduction/ Gun is an Erlang HTTP client with support for HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and Websocket. Prerequisites Knowledge of Erlang, but also of the HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and Websocket protocols is required in order to read this guide. Supported platforms Gun is tested and supported on Linux. Gun is developed for Erlang 19+. Gun may be compiled on earlier Erlang versions with small source code modifications but there is no guarantee that it will work as intended. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.2/guide/introduction/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.2/guide/introduction/ Ranch is a socket acceptor pool for TCP protocols.

Creating a folder for your project The first step is always to create a new folder that will contain your project. $ mkdir hello_joe $ cd hello_joe Most people tend to put all their projects side by side in a common folder. We recommend keeping an organization similar to your remote repositories. For example, for GitHub users, put all your projects in a common folder with the same name as your username. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.2/guide/listeners/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.2/guide/listeners/ A listener is a set of processes whose role is to listen on a port for new connections. It manages a pool of acceptor processes, each of them indefinitely accepting connections. When it does, it starts a new process executing the protocol handler code. All the socket programming is abstracted through the user of transport handlers. The listener takes care of supervising all the acceptor and connection processes, allowing developers to focus on building their application. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.3/guide/listeners/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.3/guide/listeners/ A listener is a set of processes whose role is to listen on a port for new connections.

Setting up Before Gun can be used it needs to be in Erlang’s ERL_LIBS path variable. If you use erlang.mk or a similar build tool, you only need to specify Gun as a dependency to your application and the tool will take care of downloading Gun and setting up paths. With erlang.mk this is done by adding gun to the DEPS variable in your Makefile. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/gun/1.0/guide/protocols/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/gun/1.0/guide/protocols/ This chapter describes the protocols supported and the operations available to them. HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.1 is a text request-response protocol. The client sends a request, the server sends back a response. Gun provides convenience functions for performing GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, POST, PATCH, PUT, and DELETE requests. All these functions are aliases of gun:request/{4,5,6} for each respective methods. Gun also provides a gun:data/4 function for streaming the request body. Gun will send a gun_response message for every response received, followed by zero or more gun_data messages for the response body. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/introduction/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/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.

Transports can be used for connecting, listening and accepting connections, but also for receiving and sending data. Both passive and active mode are supported, although all sockets are initialized as passive. TCP transport The TCP transport is a thin wrapper around gen_tcp. SSL transport The SSL transport is a thin wrapper around ssl. It requires the crypto, asn1, public_key and ssl applications to be started. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.3/guide/transports/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.3/guide/transports/ A transport defines the interface to interact with a socket.

Building your project Erlang.mk is first and foremost a build tool. It is especially tailored for Erlang developers and follows widely accepted practices in the Erlang community. Erlang.mk will happily build all Erlang-specific files you throw at it. Other kinds of files too, like C or C++ code when you are working on a NIF or a port driver. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/gun/1.0/guide/connect/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/gun/1.0/guide/connect/ This chapter describes how to open, monitor and close a connection using the Gun client. Gun connections Gun is designed with the HTTP/2 and Websocket protocols in mind. They are built for long-running connections that allow concurrent exchange of data, either in the form of request/responses for HTTP/2 or in the form of messages for Websocket. A Gun connection is an Erlang process that manages a socket to a remote endpoint. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.2/guide/protocols/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.2/guide/protocols/ A protocol handler starts a connection process and defines the protocol logic executed in this process. Writing a protocol handler All protocol handlers must implement the ranch_protocol behavior which defines a single callback, start_link/4. This callback is responsible for spawning a new process for handling the connection. It receives four arguments: the name of the listener, the socket, the transport handler being used and the protocol options defined in the call to ranch:start_listener/6. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.3/guide/protocols/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.3/guide/protocols/ A protocol handler starts a connection process and defines the protocol logic executed in this process.

Erlang developers rarely write standalone modules, they write libraries or applications, and then bundle those into what is called a release. A release contains the Erlang VM plus all applications required to run the node, so it can be pushed to production directly. This chapter walks you through all the steps of setting up Cowboy, writing your first application and generating your first release. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/getting_started/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/getting_started/ Erlang is more than a language, it is also an operating system for your applications.

Initial bootstrap The first time you use Erlang.mk, it will bootstrap itself. It always uses the most recent version for this, so you don’t have to update after creating your project. Updating Later on though, updating becomes a necessity. Erlang.mk developers and contributors relentlessly improve the project and add new features; it would be a waste not to benefit from this. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/gun/1.0/guide/http/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/gun/1.0/guide/http/ This chapter describes how to use the Gun client for communicating with an HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2 server. Streams Every time a request is initiated, Gun creates a stream. A stream reference uniquely identifies a set of request and response(s) and must be used to perform additional operations with a stream or to identify its messages. Stream references use the Erlang reference data type and are therefore unique. Streams can be canceled at any time. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.2/guide/embedded/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.2/guide/embedded/ Embedded mode allows you to insert Ranch listeners directly in your supervision tree. This allows for greater fault tolerance control by permitting the shutdown of a listener due to the failure of another part of the application and vice versa. Embedding To embed Ranch in your application you can simply add the child specs to your supervision tree. This can all be done in the init/1 function of one of your application supervisors. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.3/guide/embedded/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.3/guide/embedded/ Embedded mode allows you to insert Ranch listeners directly in your supervision tree.

It’s very important, when evaluating and when using a tool, to understand its limitations, so as to avoid making mistakes and wasting valuable time. This chapter lists all known limitations of Erlang.mk. Erlang must be available Currently Erlang.mk requires you to install Erlang beforehand. Installing Erlang is not always easy, particularly if you need a specific version of Erlang for a specific project. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/flow_diagram/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/flow_diagram/ Cowboy is a lightweight HTTP server with support for HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and Websocket.

To use Websocket, you must first request for the connection to be upgraded. Only HTTP/1.1 connections can be upgraded to Websocket, so you might need to restrict the protocol to HTTP/1.1 if you are planning to use Websocket over TLS. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.2/guide/parsers/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.2/guide/parsers/ There are three kinds of protocols: Text protocols Schema-less binary protocols Schema-based binary protocols This chapter introduces the first two kinds.

In this chapter we will cover the basics of building a project with Erlang.mk. For most of this chapter, we will assume that you are using a project generated by Erlang.mk. How to build To build a project, all you have to do is type make: $ make It will work regardless of your project: OTP applications, library applications, NIFs, port drivers or even releases. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/listeners/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/listeners/ A listener is a set of processes that listens on a port for new connections. Incoming connections get handled by Cowboy. Depending on the connection handshake, one or another protocol may be used. This chapter is specific to Cowboy.

Erlang.mk improves upon the concepts introduced by Rebar, so they should be familiar to many seasoned Erlang developers. Erlang.mk is not a package manager, nor is it trying to be, but it does include an index of Erlang packages to make discovering useful projects easier. This chapter will explain how to use packages, add dependencies to your project or bundle them directly in a single repository. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/routing/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/routing/ Cowboy does nothing by default. To make Cowboy useful, you need to map URIs to Erlang modules that will handle the requests. This is called routing. When Cowboy receives a request, it tries to match the requested host and path to the configured routes. When there’s a match, the route’s associated handler is executed. Routes need to be compiled before they can be used by Cowboy. The result of the compilation is the dispatch rules. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/routing/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/routing/ Cowboy does nothing by default.

There are two ways to build the C code: using a custom Makefile, or making Erlang.mk do it directly. The C code will be built as needed when you run make. C source code location and Erlang environment The C source code should be located in the $(C_SRC_DIR) directory. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.2/guide/internals/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.2/guide/internals/ This chapter may not apply to embedded Ranch as embedding allows you to use an architecture specific to your application, which may or may not be compatible with the description of the Ranch application.

They are used in various places in Cowboy, including the router and the cowboy_req match functions. Syntax Constraints are provided as a list of fields. For each field in the list, specific constraints can be applied, as well as a default value if the field is missing. A field can take the form of an atom field, a tuple with constraints {field, Constraints} or a tuple with constraints and a default value {field, Constraints, Default}. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/constraints/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/constraints/ Constraints are validation and conversion functions applied to user input.

This chapter covers the Erlang.mk-specific bits. Consult the Relx website for more information. Setup Erlang.mk will create a release if it detects a Relx configuration file in the $(RELX_CONFIG) location. This defaults to $(CURDIR)/relx.config. You can override it by defining the variable before including Erlang.mk: RELX_CONFIG = $(CURDIR)/webchat.config Relx does not need to be installed. Erlang.mk will download and build it automatically. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/erlang.mk/1/guide/sfx/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/erlang.mk/1/guide/sfx/ Erlang.mk allows you to package Relx releases as self-extracting archives. These archives contain all the files in the release and come in the form of a script that will extract and run the release automatically. This allows you to package the release as a single file that can then be executed. This feature is currently experimental. Feedback is much appreciated. Generating the self-extracting archive To generate a self-extracting release, all you need to do is pass the SFX=1 variable to Make when you build the release: https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/handlers/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/handlers/ Handlers are Erlang modules that handle HTTP requests. Plain HTTP handlers The most basic handler in Cowboy implements the mandatory init/2 callback, manipulates the request, optionally sends a response and then returns. This callback receives the Req object and the initial state defined in the router configuration. A handler that does nothing would look like this: init(Req, State) -> {ok, Req, State}. Despite sending no reply, a 204 No Content response will be sent to the client, as Cowboy makes sure that a response is sent for every request. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/handlers/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/handlers/ Handlers are Erlang modules that handle HTTP requests.

They are meant to be used for small command line executables written in Erlang. They are not self-contained, unlike releases. Erlang must be installed for them to run. This however means that they are fairly small compared to releases. For self-contained executables, check self-extracting releases. Requirements Erlang.mk uses p7zip by default to generate the escript archive. Make sure it is installed. On most systems the package is named p7zip; on Ubuntu you need p7zip-full. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/loop_handlers/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/loop_handlers/ Loop handlers are a special kind of HTTP handlers used when the response can not be sent right away. The handler enters instead a receive loop waiting for the right message before it can send a response. Loop handlers are used for requests where a response might not be immediately available, but where you would like to keep the connection open for a while in case the response arrives. The most known example of such practice is known as long polling. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/loop_handlers/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/loop_handlers/ Loop handlers are a special kind of HTTP handlers used when the response can not be sent right away.

It can be used to easily build a specific Erlang/OTP version (with or without custom build options) or maintain different versions side by side. Erlang versions Erlang.mk uses the Git tags from Erlang/OTP to identify OTP versions. The most recent tag at the time of writing is OTP-20.0.4, which is a patch release of OTP-20. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/static_files/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/static_files/ Cowboy comes with a ready to use handler for serving static files. It is provided as a convenience for serving files during development. For systems in production, consider using one of the many Content Distribution Network (CDN) available on the market, as they are the best solution for serving files.

It can use dependencies written with other build tools in mind, and can also make your projects usable by those build tools as well. Erlang.mk is like the cool kid that gets along with everybody. In this chapter I will use the term Rebar project to refer to a project built using Rebar 2, Rebar 3 or Mad. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/erlang.mk/1/guide/asciidoc/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/erlang.mk/1/guide/asciidoc/ Erlang.mk provides rules for generating documentation from AsciiDoc files. It can automatically build a user guide PDF, chunked HTML documentation and Unix manual pages. Requirements It is necessary to have AsciiDoc, xsltproc and dblatex installed on your system for Erlang.mk to generate documentation from AsciiDoc sources. Writing AsciiDoc documentation AsciiDoc is a text document format for writing notes, documentation, articles, books, ebooks, slideshows, web pages, man pages and blogs. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/req/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/req/ The Req object is a variable used for obtaining information about a request, read its body or send a response. It is not really an object in the object-oriented sense. It is a simple map that can be directly accessed or used when calling functions from the cowboy_req module. The Req object is the subject of a few different chapters.

Writing EDoc comments The EDoc user guide explains everything you need to know about EDoc comments. Configuration The EDOC_OPTS variable allows you to specify additional EDoc options. Options are documented in the EDoc manual. A common use for this variable is to enable Markdown in doc comments, using the edown application: https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/erlang.mk/1/guide/sphinx/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/erlang.mk/1/guide/sphinx/ Erlang.mk includes targets for running the Sphinx documentation generator, which can produce documentation in various formats, like HTML, man pages, Texinfo, LaTeX, and others. Writing Sphinx documentation Sphinx generates documentation from a set of reST documents. There is a quick start guide on Sphinx' website. For Erlang.mk, we’ll set up a minimal environment instead. Basic setup By default, Erlang.mk expects Sphinx documentation to be placed in the doc directory, with doc/conf. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/resp/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/resp/ The response must be sent using the Req object. Cowboy provides two different ways of sending responses: either directly or by streaming the body. Response headers and body may be set in advance. The response is sent as soon as one of the reply or stream reply function is called. Cowboy also provides a simplified interface for sending files. It can also send only specific parts of a file. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/resp/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/resp/ The response must be sent using the Req object.

(If you target one specific release, check the OTP version pinning section of the OTP version management chapter.) Configuring Erlang/OTP versions to test To use the CI plugin you must first configure which versions of Erlang/OTP will be used. Erlang.mk provides three separate configuration variables depending on whether you need a normal OTP release, a HiPE-enabled release or an ErLLVM-enabled release. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/erlang.mk/1/guide/dialyzer/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/erlang.mk/1/guide/dialyzer/ Dialyzer is a tool that will detect discrepancies in your 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. Erlang.mk provides a wrapper around Dialyzer. How it works 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. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/rest_flowcharts/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/rest_flowcharts/ This chapter will explain the REST handler state machine through a number of different diagrams. There are four main paths that requests may follow. One for the method OPTIONS; one for the methods GET and HEAD; one for the methods PUT, POST and PATCH; and one for the method DELETE.

Those files could be Makefiles, configuration files, templates and more. Erlang.mk allows you to automatically load plugins from dependencies. Plugins can do anything, including defining new variables, defining file templates, hooking themselves inside the normal Erlang.mk processing or even adding new rules. You can load plugins using one of two methods. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/ws_protocol/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/ws_protocol/ This chapter explains what Websocket is and why it is a vital component of soft realtime Web applications. Description Websocket is an extension to HTTP that emulates plain TCP connections between the client, typically a Web browser, and the server. It uses the HTTP Upgrade mechanism to establish the connection. Websocket connections are fully asynchronous, unlike HTTP/1.1 (synchronous) and HTTP/2 (asynchronous, but the server can only initiate streams in response to requests). https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/ws_protocol/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/ws_protocol/ This chapter explains what Websocket is and why it is a vital component of soft realtime Web applications.

As Websocket connections are established through the HTTP/1.1 upgrade mechanism, Websocket handlers need to be able to first receive the HTTP request for the upgrade, before switching to Websocket and taking over the connection. They can then receive or send Websocket frames, handle incoming Erlang messages or close the connection. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/ws_handlers/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/ws_handlers/ Websocket handlers provide an interface for upgrading HTTP/1.1 connections to Websocket and sending or receiving frames on the Websocket connection.

This chapter will attempt to answer that. Erlang.mk is fast Erlang.mk is as fast as it gets. Erlang.mk will group the compilation of files so as to avoid running the BEAM more than necessary. This saves many seconds compared to traditional Makefiles, even on small projects. Erlang.mk will not try to be too smart.

The term stream comes from HTTP/2. In Cowboy, it is also used when talking about HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/1.0. It should not be confused with streaming the request or response body. All versions of HTTP allow clients to initiate streams. HTTP/2 is the only one also allowing servers, through its server push feature. Both client and server-initiated streams go through the same process in Cowboy. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/streams/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/streams/ A stream is the set of messages that form an HTTP request/response pair.

Before Erlang.mk Erlang.mk originates from the Cowboy project. Cowboy started as a Rebar project and I, Loïc Hoguin, was very happy with it for a couple years. Over time however I started getting annoyed and frustrated by a number of things, including bad defaults, changing defaults and overall slowness. In particular, at the time I gave up on Rebar, the Cowboy test suite was taking about five minutes to run. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/middlewares/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/middlewares/ Cowboy delegates the request processing to middleware components. By default, two middlewares are defined, for the routing and handling of the request, as is detailed in most of this guide. Middlewares give you complete control over how requests are to be processed. You can add your own middlewares to the mix or completely change the chain of middlewares as needed. Cowboy will execute all middlewares in the given order, unless one of them decides to stop processing. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/middlewares/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.1/guide/middlewares/ Cowboy delegates the request processing to middleware components.

A number of bugs found in the 2.0 release were also fixed. Features added It is now possible to obtain the client TLS certificate and the local IP/port for the connection from the Req object. Informational responses (1XX responses) can now be sent.

This version is a very good milestone toward that goal and most of everything should now work. Release upgrades and a few details will be improved in future versions. Features added Add support for all functions from the module sys. Note that Cowboy currently does not implement the sys debugging mechanisms as tracing is recommended instead. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/specs/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/specs/ This chapter intends to list all the specification documents for or related to HTTP.

This release focused on adding support for the functions from the sys module for introspecting Cowboy processes. Many bugs have also been fixed. A more complete list of changes can be found in the migration guide: Migrating from Cowboy 2.2 to 2.3. You can donate to this project via BountySource because I need to eat snacks when I write code.

This release focused on adding features required for writing gRPC servers and on completing test suites for the core HTTP RFCs. The cowboy_req:stream_trailers/2 function has been added. It terminates the streamed response by adding some trailer field values. This feature is required for gRPC. The max_skip_body_length option was added. It controls how much of the request body we are willing to skip to get to the next request for HTTP/1. https://ninenines.eu/articles/cowboy-2.1.0/ Thu, 09 Nov 2017 12:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/cowboy-2.1.0/ Cowboy 2.1.0 has been released! This release focused on adding features that were temporarily removed during the 2.0 release process: The client TLS certificate can now be obtained. The 100 Continue response is now sent automatically again when necessary. NEW: It is now possible to send informational responses (1XX) directly from user code via the cowboy_req:inform/2,3 functions. NEW: cowboy_rest handlers can now switch to any other type of handler from almost any callback. https://ninenines.eu/articles/cowboy-2.0.0/ Wed, 04 Oct 2017 12:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/cowboy-2.0.0/ Cowboy 2.0.0 has been released! This is the new stable version of Cowboy. There are no new releases planned for the 1.x version of Cowboy. The highlights from the release are: HTTP/2 support! Websocket compression! Much simpler, cleaner interface. No more weird errors just because you discard the Req object. A new low-level interface that receives all events from every set of request and response. https://ninenines.eu/articles/cowboy-2.0.0-rc.2/ Wed, 23 Aug 2017 18:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/cowboy-2.0.0-rc.2/ Cowboy 2.0.0-rc.2 has been released! This is the new recommended version of Cowboy. Its API should not change before release. While you probably should not use it in production yet, many do successfully. Use at your own risk. This new version contains fixes for the following issues: HTTP/2 server push was using the wrong header compression context. HTTP/2 flow control could end up queueing data in the wrong order when resuming the sending of data. https://ninenines.eu/articles/cowboy-2.0.0-rc.1/ Mon, 24 Jul 2017 18:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/cowboy-2.0.0-rc.1/ Cowboy 2.0.0-rc.1 has been released! This is the new recommended version of Cowboy. Its API should not change before release. While you probably should not use it in production yet, many do successfully. Use at your own risk. The plan is to have a new RC version every couple weeks until the summer ends or later if there are still blocking issues open. Only issues that can’t be fixed without making breaking changes to the interface may block the release. https://ninenines.eu/articles/the-elephant-in-the-room/ Sun, 26 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/the-elephant-in-the-room/ Have you ever tried telling someone why they should use Erlang? You boast the smaller code size, the auto healing mechanisms, the distribution and they seem really excited. They wonder why they never heard about Erlang before. And then you show them what the code looks like. All excitement goes away. The smiles disappear. Their face starts becoming really serious. You lost them. You know you lost them. They comment on the syntax, or perhaps you do, already admitting defeat. https://ninenines.eu/articles/dont-let-it-crash/ Sun, 22 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/dont-let-it-crash/ We have a specific mindset when writing Erlang programs. We focus on the normal execution of the program and don’t handle most of the errors that may occur. We sometimes call this normal execution the happy path. The general pattern behind writing only for the happy path, letting the VM catch errors (writing them to a log for future consumption) and then having a supervisor restart the processes that failed from a clean state, has a name. https://ninenines.eu/articles/cowboy-2.0.0-pre.4/ Tue, 03 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/cowboy-2.0.0-pre.4/ Cowboy 2.0.0-pre.4 has been released! This is the new recommended version of Cowboy. While I would not recommend putting it in production just yet, I do recommend you start writing new applications with this Cowboy version. The most significant changes in the pre-release are: A new architecture: there now is one process per connection and one process per request. This was done because HTTP/2 allows running requests concurrently. https://ninenines.eu/articles/ranch-1.3/ Mon, 28 Nov 2016 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/ranch-1.3/ Ranch 1.3.0 has been released! This release fixes a number of long standing issues and adds a small number of features: The ssl application has been added to the list of dependencies. If you don’t need it, you can remove it automatically when fetching Ranch or when building the release. If you do need it, you will no longer have issues shutting down a node because of Ranch. https://ninenines.eu/articles/ml-archives/ Mon, 29 Aug 2016 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/ml-archives/ The old mailing list archives have been added to the site, mainly for referencing purposes. The mailing list has been shut down and all personal information has been deleted. If you need help with a project, consider either opening a ticket on that project’s issues tracker or going through the community channels (erlang-questions, #ninenines or #erlang on Freenode). Prefer tickets; often when people have issues it highlights an underlying problem in the project or its documentation. https://ninenines.eu/articles/website-update/ Sat, 02 Apr 2016 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/website-update/ Last week-end I updated the Nine Nines website. I switched to Hugo. The site is now built from Asciidoc documents. You probably saw me switch to Asciidoc for documentation this past year. This is the natural conclusion to that story. The great thing is that with a little bit of Makefile magic I can just copy the documentation files into Hugo and poof, they appear on the website. I am very happy with that new setup. https://ninenines.eu/articles/erlanger-playbook-september-2015-update/ Wed, 02 Sep 2015 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/erlanger-playbook-september-2015-update/ An update to The Erlanger Playbook is now available! The Erlanger Playbook is a book about software development using Erlang. It currently covers all areas from the conception, design, the writing of code, documentation and tests. The book is still a work in progress. Future topics will include refactoring, debugging and tracing, benchmarking, releases, community management (for open source projects). This update fixes a number of things and adds two chapters: IOlists and Erlang building blocks. https://ninenines.eu/services/ Wed, 01 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/services/ If you are interested by any of these opportunities, send me an email.

I also pushed a change in the way the code validates UTF-8 data (required for text and close frames as per the spec). When looking into why the permessage-deflate tests in autobahntestsuite were taking such a long time, I found that autobahn is using an adaptation of the algorithm named Flexible and Economical UTF-8 Decoder.

He makes many great points and I am in agreement with most of it. This made me want to properly explain my point of view with regard to open source and contributions. Unlike most open source evangelism articles I will not talk about ideals or any of that crap, but rather my personal feelings and experience. https://ninenines.eu/articles/the-story-so-far/ Sat, 23 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/the-story-so-far/ As I am away from home with little to do (some call this a vacation) I wanted to reflect a little on the story so far, or how I arrived to Erlang and got to where I am now. The raw personal experience. It’ll be an article that’s more about social aspect, communities and marketing a project than technical considerations. As a period piece, it will also allow me to reflect on the evolution of Erlang in recent years. https://ninenines.eu/articles/cowboy2-qs/ Wed, 20 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/cowboy2-qs/ Now that Cowboy 1.0 is out, I can spend some of my time thinking about Cowboy 2.0 that will be released soon after Erlang/OTP 18.0. This entry discusses the proposed changes to query string handling in Cowboy. Cowboy 2.0 will respond to user wishes by simplifying the interface of the cowboy_req module. Users want two things: less juggling with the Req variable, and more maps. Maps is the only dynamic key/value data structure in Erlang that we can match directly to extract values, allowing users to greatly simplify their code as they don’t need to call functions to do everything anymore. https://ninenines.eu/articles/january-2014-status/ Tue, 07 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/january-2014-status/ I will now be regularly writing posts about project status, plans and hopes for the future. Before that though, there’s one important news to share. Until a year ago all development was financed through consulting and development services. This worked alright but too much time was spent doing things that didn’t benefit the open source projects. And that didn’t make me happy at all. Because I like being happy I stopped that for the most part and spent the year figuring things out, experimenting and discussing with people about it. https://ninenines.eu/articles/farwest-funded/ Thu, 27 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/farwest-funded/ This was a triumph! I’m making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS!! It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction. Thanks to everyone who made this possible. If you have backed this fundraiser, and haven’t provided your personal details yet, please do so quickly so that your rewards can be sent! I am hoping that we will be able to make good use of all that money. The details of the expenses will be published regularly on the 2013 Fundraiser wiki page, giving you full disclosure as to how your money is used. https://ninenines.eu/articles/erlang.mk-and-relx/ Tue, 28 May 2013 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/erlang.mk-and-relx/ Building OTP releases has always been a difficult task. Tools like Reltool or Rebar have made this simpler, but it’s no panacea. This article will show you an alternative and hopefully much simpler solution. There is two steps to building a release. First you need to build the various OTP applications you want to include in the release. Once done, you need to create the release itself, by including the Erlang runtime system alongside the applications, a boot script to start the node and all its applications, and some configuration files. https://ninenines.eu/articles/xerl-0.5-intermediate-module/ Mon, 25 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/xerl-0.5-intermediate-module/ Today we will start the work on the intermediate module that will be used to run the code for the expressions found in our file’s body, replacing our interpreter. This is what we want to have when all the work is done: xerl -> tokens -> AST -> intermediate -> cerl Today we will perform this work only on the atomic integer expression however, so we will not build any module at the end. https://ninenines.eu/articles/xerl-0.4-expression-separator/ Fri, 01 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/xerl-0.4-expression-separator/ As promised we are adding an expression separator this time. This will be short and easy. In the tokenizer we only need to add a line recognizing the comma as a valid token. , : {token, {',', TokenLine}}. Then we need to change the following lines in the parser: exprs -> expr : ['$1']. exprs -> expr exprs : ['$1' | '$2']. And add a comma between the expressions on the second line: https://ninenines.eu/articles/erlang-scalability/ Mon, 18 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/erlang-scalability/ I would like to share some experience and theories on Erlang scalability. This will be in the form of a series of hints, which may or may not be accompanied with explanations as to why things are this way, or how they improve or reduce the scalability of a system. I will try to do my best to avoid giving falsehoods, even if that means a few things won’t be explained. https://ninenines.eu/articles/xerl-0.3-atomic-expressions/ Mon, 18 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/xerl-0.3-atomic-expressions/ We will be adding atomic integer expressions to our language. These look as follow in Erlang: 42. And the result of this expression is of course 42. We will be running this expression at compile time, since we don’t have the means to run code at runtime yet. This will of course result in no module being compiled, but that’s OK, it will allow us to discuss a few important things we’ll have to plan for later on. https://ninenines.eu/articles/xerl-0.2-two-modules/ Sun, 03 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/xerl-0.2-two-modules/ Everything is an expression. This sentence carries profound meaning. We will invoke it many times over the course of these articles. If everything is an expression, then the language shouldn’t have any problem with me defining two modules in the same source file. mod first_module begin end mod second_module begin end Likewise, it shouldn’t have any problem with me defining a module inside another module. mod out_module begin mod in_module begin end end Of course, in the context of the Erlang VM, these two snippets are equivalent; there is nothing preventing you from calling the in_module module from any other module. https://ninenines.eu/articles/xerl-0.1-empty-modules/ Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/xerl-0.1-empty-modules/ Let’s build a programming language. I call it Xerl: eXtended ERLang. It’ll be an occasion for us to learn a few things, especially me. Unlike in Erlang, in this language, everything is an expression. This means that modules and functions are expression, and indeed that you can have more than one module per file. We are just starting, so let’s no go ahead of ourselves here. We’ll begin with writing the code allowing us to compile an empty module. https://ninenines.eu/articles/ranch-ftp/ Wed, 14 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/ranch-ftp/ Last week I was speaking at the London Erlang Factory Lite where I presented a live demonstration of building an FTP server using Ranch. As there was no slide, you should use this article as a reference instead. The goal of this article is to showcase how to use Ranch for writing a network protocol implementation, how Ranch gets out of the way to let you write the code that matters, and the common techniques used when writing servers. https://ninenines.eu/articles/tictactoe/ Wed, 17 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0100 https://ninenines.eu/articles/tictactoe/ Everyone knows Tic Tac Toe, right? Players choose either to be the Xs or the Os, then place their symbol on a 3x3 board one after another, trying to create a line of 3 of them. Writing an algorithm to check for victory sounds easy, right? It’s easily tested, considering there’s only 8 possible winning rows (3 horizontal, 3 vertical and 2 diagonal). In Erlang though, you probably wouldn’t want an algorithm. https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/manual/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/manual/ Name cowboy - Small, fast, modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP Description Cowboy is an HTTP server for Erlang/OTP with support for the HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and Websocket protocols.
