Doing so will let us notice when the connection is gone instead of waiting for timeouts, at least in the cases where the remote socket was closed properly. Timeouts are still needed in case of TCP half-open problems. This change means that the order of stream handler commands is more important than before because socket errors may occur during the processing of commands. |

= Cowboy Cowboy is a small, fast and modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP. == 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. Cowboy is *clean* and *well tested* Erlang code. == Online documentation * https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.6/guide[User guide] * https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.6/manual[Function reference] == Offline documentation * While still online, run `make docs` * User guide available in `doc/` in PDF and HTML formats * Function reference man pages available in `doc/man3/` and `doc/man7/` * Run `make install-docs` to install man pages on your system * Full documentation in Asciidoc available in `doc/src/` * Examples available in `examples/` == Getting help * https://github.com/ninenines/cowboy/issues[Issues tracker] * https://ninenines.eu/services[Commercial Support] * https://github.com/sponsors/essen[Sponsor me!]
