Cowboy is also a socket acceptor pool, able to accept connections for any kind of TCP protocol.

Cowboy aims to provide the following advantages:

* 'Small' code base. * Damn 'fast'. * 'Modular': transport and protocol handlers are replaceable. * 'Binary HTTP' for greater speed and lower memory usage. * Easy to 'embed' inside another application. * Selectively 'dispatch' requests to handlers, allowing you to send some requests to your embedded code and others to a FastCGI application in PHP or Ruby. * No parameterized module. No process dictionary. 'Clean' Erlang code.

This package includes erlang-cowboy examples.
