[erlang-questions] listen to http and non-http tcp connections in cowboy

[Loïc Hoguin]

The way I usually suggest this is to start a listener for your 
flash_policy_server protocol that would detect what protocol is used 
from the first few bytes and redirect to cowboy_http_protocol if it's 
HTTP (calling init, not start_link).

You'll probably need to patch cowboy_http_protocol a little (I'm 
interested in such a patch) or use inet_tcp:unrecv/2 to put the data you 
read back into the socket buffer so that cowboy_http_protocol can run 
directly.
