Loïc Hoguin 493794145e REST: Ignore If...Since if If...Match header exists 
The If-Modified-Since and If-Unmodified-Since headers are
only used when If-None-Match or If-Match were not found,
respectively. The latter are preferred by the standard
and the former is only there for compatibility with older
clients.

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 project is currently sponsored by Sameroom.

The original SPDY implementation was sponsored by LeoFS Cloud Storage. It has since been superseded by HTTP/2.
