Loïc Hoguin 4e6a4ee53f Add initial HTTP/1.1 Upgrade to HTTP/2 
The same edge cases that fail with other handshake methods
also fail here (mostly bad preface/timeouts stuff). In
addition, the HTTP2-Settings header contents are currently
not checked and so the related edge case tests also fail.

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 It has since been superseded by HTTP/2.
