![]() If cowboy_static is initialized with `{priv_file, ...}` or `{priv_dir,
...}`, it is now able to read files from Erlang application .ez
archives.
When serving a file from an archive, the #file_info{} comes from the
archive, not the contained file, except for the size and type. The
erl_prim_loader module is used to read the latter's #file_info{} and the
actual file content (ie. sendfile(2) is not used in this case).

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.
