Loïc Hoguin 10e3692fa6 Remove support for Websocket hixie76 draft 
It was only used by Safari 5.0.1 and possibly 5.1. Their market share
is dropping as we speak. It was also insecure (disabled in Firefox
for that reason).

This will allow us to make much more efficient and cleaner code for
the rest of the Websocket versions we support (drafts 7 to 17 + RFC),
which are pretty much all versions seen in the wild excluding the
one we're removing here.

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
  • Look at the examples in the examples/ directory
  • Build API documentation with make docs; open doc/index.html
