Cowboy Static File Handler
==========================
Static file handler example
===========================
To compile this example you need rebar in your PATH.
To try this example, you need GNU `make`, `git` and
[relx](https://github.com/erlware/relx) in your PATH.
Type the following command:
```
$ rebar get-deps compile
To build the example, run the following command:
``` bash
$ make
```
You can then start the Erlang node with the following command:
```
./start.sh
To start the release in the foreground:
``` bash
$ ./_rel/bin/hello_world_example console
```
Cowboy will serve all the files you put in the priv/ directory.
You can replace the filename given in the example URL with the
one of a file you added to this directory to receive that file.
The example will serve all the files found in the `priv`
directory. For example:
Example
-------
* [Plain text file](http://localhost:8080/test.txt)
* [HTML5 video demo](http://localhost:8080/video.html)
Show that the file is returned as an octet-stream
Example output
--------------
``` bash
$ curl -i http://localhost:8080/test.txt
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
connection: keep-alive

If you read this then the static file server works!
```
Finally download and cat the file to verify
``` bash
$ curl -sLO http://localhost:8080/test.txt
$ cat test.txt
If you read this then the static file server works!
```
HTML5 Video Example
-------------------
Open http://localhost:8080/video.html in your favorite browser.
