Alexey Lebedeff b290b88a67 Use 'Connection' header only when necessary 
Fixes #839 when 'Connection: Keep-Alive' wasn't sent in a HTTP/1.0
response. Now the usage of 'Connection' header is consistent with
current protocol version: when this header is not specified explicitly
in the response, HTTP/1.0 implies 'Connection: close' and HTTP/1.1
implies 'Connection: Keep-Alive'. So if current 'Connection' value
matches the default value of current protocol, we won't state obvious
fact in the response; and vice versa.

Amended to fix and improve tests, and revert the variable name
change from HTTP11Headers to StdHeaders. I think it's still good
to leave it as is because it's not really a standard header for
HTTP/1.0, and it's gone from HTTP/2 entirely.

README.md

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 Kato.im.

The SPDY implementation was sponsored by LeoFS Cloud Storage.
