[erlang-questions] supervisor not restarting gen_server

[AD]

i had a supervisor behaviour starting the gen_server and the cowboy_sup as
2 child specs.  Each was a standard one_for_one permanent although I now
realize I had the cowboy PID set to worker instead of supervisor which
probably caused some issues.

I also realized I probably dont need to supervise cowboy under my own
supervisor as it already has its own supervision.
