Adds a loop_handler test suite that runs all tests under HTTP, HTTPS,
SPDY each with and without the compress option enabled.
Fixes output filtering that used to filter more than it should have.
This forces us to parse the string sent by the emulator, which means
it's probably not perfect yet. But it should at least not hide errors
we want to see.
Fix a crash in the output filtering code that entirely disabled
output. Now when there is a crash the normal tty output is restored.
Handlers are now in test/handlers/ as they can be reused between
suites.
Only generate a single certificate for the whole ct run to speed
things up when we got many different test groups each needing
certificates.
The errors are still logged by common_test to the report it creates.
The process that is going to crash has to call cowboy_error_h:ignore/3
with the MFA where the crash is expected to occur for it to be ignored.
Gun retry failures are also ignored. Only unexpected crashes are printed.
The old undocumented API is removed entirely.
While a documentation exists for the new API, it will not
be considered set in stone until further testing has been
performed, and a file upload example has been added.
The new API should be a little more efficient than the
old API, especially with smaller messages.
* Parsing code was moved to cowlib: cowboy_qs:parse_qs/1
* A function was added to build query strings: cowboy_qs:qs/1
* Also added cowboy_qs:urlencode/1 and cowboy_qsurldecode/1
Changes include:
* Much simplified route configuration.
* Etag generation is now enabled by default.
* Web mimetypes are now detected by default. A bigger list of
mimetypes can be detected without any additional library.
* Mimetypes can no longer be specified as a list. Copying this
list for new connections is too costy. You can easily convert
it into a function and pass that function to the handler instead.
* You can however specify a single hardcoded mimetype. Mostly
useful when serving a single file, like an index.html file,
to avoid extra operations.
* Specifying a path as a list of tokens is not possible anymore.
Use either a binary or a string.
* Using a private directory will not work if the application
was not started properly. Cowboy will not attempt to find
the location of this directory if the VM doesn't know it,
as this caused issues in some setups.
* Overall the code has been much simplified and clarified,
and of course has now been documented.
The code for parsing has also been rewritten to be more efficient
and to be able to handle cookie values with space inside them properly.
Update cowlib to 0.2.0.
And various other improvements following the addition of two tests.
New dependency cowlib that will gradually receive most of the parse
code from SPDY but also HTTP and its headers.
This behavior can be enabled with the `compress` protocol option.
See the `compress_response` example for more details.
All tests are now ran with and without compression for both HTTP
and HTTPS.
First and foremost: yes, you can still use Cowboy as a rebar dependency.
This commit only removes the use of rebar when *developing* Cowboy, not
when *using* Cowboy.
Over the past two years I went from very happy with rebar to unsatisfied
and most recently found it counter productive in many ways, from having
insane default configuration to various unefficient operations. The earlier
reversal from 'rebar ct' to 'ct_run' made my workflow much more natural,
as I always needed to look at 'logs/raw.log' to find out what was wrong,
anyway. Why not let 'ct_run' output it directly instead? Removing rebar
made my life easier.
If you wonder why I don't patch rebar, there's two reasons. First is that
the direction taken by rebar isn't compatible with my views, and this
would be a huge fight to steer it in another direction. I got other,
more important fights to make. Second is that I'd rather patch OTP so
that everyone benefits from it, not just users of rebar.
Anyway this isn't my personal blog so I will stop babbling here. There's
a few important things to note relative to this commit:
* You don't need rebar to work on Cowboy anymore
* The eunit tests are now ran through common_test
Ping me if it doesn't work out for you.
