[erlang-questions] Which is best? string:concat or ++?

[Fred Hebert]

Cowboy does accept IOLists. They're very rarely going to *not* be the 
fastest data structure to handle the concatenation strings to be output, 
in my experience. I do recommend them for any and all appending and 
prepending that needs to be done with web servers, files, etc.
