<h2 id="_name">Name</h2>
<p>cowboy_stream - Stream handlers</p>
<h2 id="_description">Description</h2>
<p>The module <code>cowboy_stream</code> defines a callback interface and a protocol for handling HTTP streams.</p>
<p>An HTTP request and its associated response is called a stream. A connection may have many streams. In HTTP/1.1 they are executed sequentially, while in HTTP/2 they are executed concurrently.</p>
<p>Cowboy calls the stream handler for nearly all events related to a stream. Exceptions vary depending on the protocol.</p>
<p>Extra care must be taken when implementing stream handlers to ensure compatibility. While some modification of the events and commands is allowed, it is generally not a good idea to completely discard them.</p>
<h2 id="_callbacks">Callbacks</h2>
<p>Stream handlers must implement the following interface:</p>

<p>HTTP/1.1 will initialize a stream only when the request-line and all headers have been received. When errors occur before that point Cowboy will call the callback <code>early_error/5</code> with a partial request, the error reason and the response Cowboy intends to send. All other events go throuh the stream handler using the normal callbacks.</p>
<p>HTTP/2 will initialize the stream when the <code>HEADERS</code> block has been fully received and decoded. Any protocol error occuring before that will not result in a response being sent and will therefore not go through the stream handler. In addition Cowboy may terminate streams without sending an HTTP response back.</p>
<p>The stream is initialized by calling <code>init/3</code>. All streams that are initialized will eventually be terminated by calling <code>terminate/3</code>.</p>
<p>When Cowboy receives data for the stream it will call <code>data/4</code>. The data given is the request body after any transfer decoding has been applied.</p>
<p>When Cowboy receives a message addressed to a stream, or when Cowboy needs to inform the stream handler that an internal event has occurred, it will call <code>info/3</code>.</p>
<h2 id="commands">Commands</h2>
<p>Stream handlers can return a list of commands to be executed from the <code>init/3</code>, <code>data/4</code> and <code>info/3</code> callbacks. In addition, the <code>early_error/5</code> callback must return a response command.</p>
<!-- @todo The logger option and the {log, Level, Format, Args}-->
<!-- options need to be documented and tested.-->
<p>The following commands are defined:</p>

<p>While no more data can be sent after the <code>fin</code> flag was set, the stream is still tracked by Cowboy until it is stopped by the handler.</p>
<p>The behavior when stopping a stream for which no response has been sent will vary depending on the protocol. The stream will end successfully as far as the client is concerned.</p>
<p>To indicate that an error occurred, either use <code>error_response</code> before stopping, or use <code>internal_error</code>.</p>
<h3 id="_internal_error">internal_error</h3>
<p>Stop the stream with an error.</p>

<p>This can also be used to override stream handler options. For example this is supported by <a href="../cowboy_compress_h">cowboy_compress_h(3)</a>.</p>
<p>Not all options can be overriden. Please consult the relevant option&apos;s documentation for details.</p>
<h2 id="_predefined_events">Predefined events</h2>
<p>Cowboy will forward all messages sent to the stream to the <code>info/3</code> callback. To send a message to a stream, the function <a href="../cowboy_req.cast">cowboy_req:cast(3)</a> can be used.</p>
<p>Cowboy will also forward the exit signals for the processes that the stream spawned.</p>
<p>When Cowboy needs to send a response it will trigger an event that looks exactly like the corresponding command. This event must be returned to be processed by Cowboy (which is done automatically when using <a href="../cowboy_stream_h">cowboy_stream_h(3)</a>).</p>
<p>Cowboy may trigger the following events on its own, regardless of the stream handlers configured: <a href="#inform_command">inform</a> (to send a 101 informational response when upgrading to HTTP/2 or Websocket), <a href="#response_command">response</a>, <a href="#headers_command">headers</a>, <a href="#data_command">data</a> and <a href="#switch_protocol_command">switch_protocol</a>.</p>
<h2 id="_exports">Exports</h2>
<p>The following function should be called by modules implementing stream handlers to execute the next stream handler in the list:</p>
<ul><li><a href="../cowboy_stream.init">cowboy_stream:init(3)</a> - Initialize a stream
</li>
<li><a href="../cowboy_stream.data">cowboy_stream:data(3)</a> - Handle data for a stream
</li>
<li><a href="../cowboy_stream.info">cowboy_stream:info(3)</a> - Handle a message for a stream
</li>
<li><a href="../cowboy_stream.terminate">cowboy_stream:terminate(3)</a> - Terminate a stream
</li>
<li><a href="../cowboy_stream.early_error">cowboy_stream:early_error(3)</a> - Handle an early error for a stream
