Also sends a message 'shoot' that can be received by the protocol
to make sure Cowboy has had enough time to fully initialize the
socket. This message should be received before any socket-related
operations are performed.
WebSocket request connections are now moved from the pool 'default'
to the pool 'websocket', meaning we can have a lot of running
WebSockets despite having a low 'max_connections' setting.
Improves the readability of websocket handler code by having
two functions: websocket_handle/3 handles the packets received
from the socket, removing the tuple construct that was otherwise
needed, so only websocket_handle(Data, Req, State) is needed now;
websocket_info/3 handles the messages that the websocket handler
process received, as websocket_info(Info, Req, State).
Both functions return values are handled identically by Cowboy
so nothing changes on that end.
As requested by many people on IRC Cowboy is now a proper OTP application
to support soft code upgrades. It should also be easier to start and stop
listeners now using cowboy:start_listener/6 and cowboy:stop_listener/1.
* Cowboy isn't an OTP application anymore; just a supervisor.
* All processes started by Cowboy are now anonymous.
* All processes related to a listener are now part of its supervision tree.
* Makes more sense to parse the host only once instead of for each path.
* Allows proper handling of: If the host is not a valid host on the server,
the response MUST be a 400 (Bad Request) error.
We need an init function in order to process upgrade instructions
for protocols like WebSockets, but also to request an active receive
mode for long-polling connections, both of which will be implemented
at a later time.
