Loïc Hoguin a013becc66 Add protection against slowloris vulnerability 
This changes the behavior of the `timeout` protocol option to
mean "Time in which the full request line and headers must be
received". The default of 5s should be fine for all normal uses.

This change has no noticeable impact on performance and is thus
enabled by default for everyone. It can be disabled by setting
`timeout` to `infinity` although that is definitely not encouraged.

Inspired by the contribution from @naryl on github.

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 parts 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.

Getting Started

  • Read the guide
  • Look at the examples in the examples/ directory
  • Build API documentation with make docs; open doc/index.html
