PlugCowboyPlayground

Simple project implementing a HTTP server using the PlugCowboy Elixir library. Cowboy is a simple HTTP server for Erlang and Plug will provide us with a connection adapter for that web server.

It aims to provide a playground to try new things with plugs.

Installation

mix deps.get

How to interact with this project

Start the server with:

mix run --no-halt

Once everything is finished compiling, and [info] Starting application... appears, open a web browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080. It should display:

Welcome

Then, go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/audioslave, or any other path. It should output:

Oops!

with a 404 response.

To test the VerifyRequest plug, open http://127.0.0.1:8080/upload in your browser and you’ll see that the page simply isn’t working. You’ll just see an error page provided by our server.

Now let’s add our required params by going to http://127.0.0.1:8080/upload?content=thing1&mimetype=thing2. Now we should see our Uploaded message.
