Fred Hebert b10b34a8f2 Support ad-hoc keep-alive for HTTP/1.0 Clients 
Only go for keep-alive if they submit a 'connection: keep-alive' header
in the request, keep behaviour the same otherwise.

The new RFC 7230 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-6.3)
states:

    If the received protocol is HTTP/1.0, the "keep-alive" connection
    option is present, the recipient is not a proxy, and the recipient
    wishes to honor the HTTP/1.0 "keep-alive" mechanism, the
    connection will persist after the current response;

Even though clients are discouraged from doing so in Appendix A.1.2
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#appendix-A.1.2)

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.
