This should work very similar to normal supervisors, in particular during the shutdown sequence when the connection process goes down or switches to Websocket. Processes that need to enforce the shutdown timeout will be required to trap exits, just like in a supervisor. In a vanilla Cowboy, this only matters at connection shutdown, as Cowboy will otherwise wait for the request process to be down before stopping the stream. Tests are currently missing. |

= Cowboy Cowboy is a small, fast and modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP. == 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. Cowboy is *clean* and *well tested* Erlang code. == Online documentation * http://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide[User guide] * http://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/manual[Function reference] == Offline documentation * While still online, run `make docs` * User guide available in `doc/` in PDF and HTML formats * Function reference man pages available in `doc/man3/` and `doc/man7/` * Run `make install-docs` to install man pages on your system * Full documentation in Asciidoc available in `doc/src/` * Examples available in `examples/` == Getting help * Official IRC Channel: #ninenines on irc.freenode.net * https://github.com/ninenines/cowboy/issues[Issues tracker] * http://ninenines.eu/services[Commercial Support]
