Loïc Hoguin 38b9a78d92 Add an RFC7230 HTTP/1.1 server specification document 
This document lists all rules that Cowboy HTTP server will follow
after careful analysis of the RFC7230.

Do note that not all these rules are implemented or tested yet,
and that at the time of commit there may be rules that Cowboy will
ultimately not implement (for various reasons including performance
or leaving certain aspects up to the user code).

README.md

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 part 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.

Sponsors

The SPDY implementation was sponsored by LeoFS Cloud Storage.

The project is currently sponsored by Kato.im.
