They are now cowboy:start_clear/3 and cowboy:start_tls/3.
The NumAcceptors argument can be specified via the
num_acceptor transport option. Ranch has been updated
to 1.4.0 to that effect.
This option allows customizing the compacting of the Req object
when using Websocket. By default it will keep most public fields
excluding headers of course, since those can be large.
The inactivity timeout is used to close the connection in the absence of
any data from the client.
Since this is not part or the rfc7540 spec, a new http2_SUITE module has
been created with a test for the inactivity_timeout.
These tests cover frame sizes. It's mostly edge cases for sure
(ie misbehaving clients and us having to reject them properly).
I had these almost ready for a long time, so I'm glad I can
push them out.
This requires updating Cowlib too (we currently track master).
The Opts value is put last, to be more consistent with the
rest of the cowboy_req module.
Additionally a test handler was fixed which reduced the number
of errors in http_SUITE.
Before this commit we had an issue where configuring a
Websocket connection was simply not possible without
doing magic, adding callbacks or extra return values.
The init/2 function only allowed setting hibernate
and timeout options.
After this commit, when switching to a different
type of handler you can either return
{module, Req, State}
or
{module, Req, State, Opts}
where Opts is any value (as far as the sub protocol
interface is concerned) and is ultimately checked
by the custom handlers.
A large protocol like Websocket would accept only
a map there, with many different options, while a
small interface like loop handlers would allow
passing hibernate and nothing else.
For Websocket, hibernate must be set from the
websocket_init/1 callback, because init/2 executes
in a separate process.
Sub protocols now have two callbacks: one with the
Opts value, one without.
The loop handler code was largely reworked and
simplified. It does not need to manage a timeout
or read from the socket anymore, it's the job of
the protocol code. A lot of unnecessary stuff was
therefore removed.
Websocket compression must now be enabled from
the handler options instead of per listener. This
means that a project can have two separate Websocket
handlers with different options. Compression is
still disabled by default, and the idle_timeout
value was changed from inifnity to 60000 (60 seconds),
as that's safer and is also a good value for mobile
devices.
... instead of hard-coding "make".
First, we check the value of `$MAKE`. If it's unset, we look for `gmake`
in the `$PATH`. If it's missing, we assume it's `make`.
This fixes the testsuite where GNU Make is installed as `gmake`.
If cowboy_static is initialized with `{priv_file, ...}` or `{priv_dir,
...}`, it is now able to read files from Erlang application .ez
archives.
When serving a file from an archive, the #file_info{} comes from the
archive, not the contained file, except for the size and type. The
erl_prim_loader module is used to read the latter's #file_info{} and the
actual file content (ie. sendfile(2) is not used in this case).
Correct expected return type from `no_call` to `undefined` in
if_modified_since when last_modified callback is not defined. Add an
http_SUITE test to catch regressions.
After the switch to Websocket, we are no longer in a request/response
scenario, therefore a lot of the cowboy_req functions do not apply
anymore.
Any data required from the request will need to be taken from Req
in init/2 and saved in the handler's state.
The option for enabling Websocket compression has been
renamed. Previously it was shared with HTTP compression,
now it's specific to Websocket. The new option is named
'websocket_compress'.
