Loïc Hoguin 01f57ad65d Add optional automatic response body compression 
This behavior can be enabled with the `compress` protocol option.

All tests are now ran with and without compression for both HTTP
and HTTPS.

Cowboy

Cowboy is a small, fast and modular HTTP server written in Erlang.

Goals

Cowboy aims to provide a complete HTTP stack in a small code base. It is optimized for low latency and low memory usage, in parts because it uses binary strings.

Cowboy provides routing capabilities, selectively dispatching requests to handlers written in Erlang.

Because it uses Ranch for managing connections, Cowboy can easily be embedded in any other application.

No parameterized module. No process dictionary. Clean Erlang code.

Getting Started

  • Read the guide
