[erlang-questions] Programming Erlang: Chap 18, Websockets

[Tristan Sloughter]

Right, it fixed your original issue, which was ssl not being started.

Now it is broken because of the other issue I mentioned, the copy of
cowboy it is fetching is from github master and the API changed since
the code was written.

You'll either need to update the project's code or find what cowboy
version it worked with and update the dependencies to use that version.
