<p>Stream the response body.</p>
<p>This function may be called as many times as needed after initiating a response using the <a href="../cowboy_req.stream_reply">cowboy_req:stream_reply(3)</a> function.</p>
<p>The second argument indicates if this call is the final call. Use the <code>nofin</code> value until you know no more data will be sent. The final call should use <code>fin</code> (possibly with an empty data value) or be a call to the <a href="../cowboy_req.stream_trailers">cowboy_req:stream_trailers(3)</a> function.</p>
<p>Note that not using <code>fin</code> for the final call is not an error; Cowboy will take care of it when the request handler terminates if needed. Depending on the resource it may however be more efficient to do it as early as possible.</p>
<p>You do not need to handle HEAD requests specifically as Cowboy will ensure no data is sent when you call this function.</p>
<h2 id="_arguments">Arguments</h2>
<dl><dt>Data</dt>
<dd><p>The data to be sent.</p>
</dd>
<dt>IsFin</dt>
<dd><p>A flag indicating whether this is the final piece of data to be sent.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Req</dt>
<dd><p>The Req object.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<h2 id="_return_value">Return value</h2>
<p>The atom <code>ok</code> is always returned. It can be safely ignored.</p>
<h2 id="_changelog">Changelog</h2>
<ul><li><strong>2.6</strong>: The <code>Data</code> argument can now be a sendfile tuple.
</li>
<li><strong>2.0</strong>: Function introduced. Replaces <code>chunk/2</code>.
</li>
