Loïc Hoguin 228cebaf04 Add rfc7230 test suite and update others to recent Gun 
This is a large commit.

The rfc7230 test suite adds many tests from the RFC7230 document.

Gun has been updated quite a bit recently, which broke the Cowboy
suites. This is now fixed with this commit.

A new hook onfirstrequest has been added. It was very useful during
debugging of the test suites.

The initial process code has changed a little; more changes are
expected with the switch to maps for options.

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.
