[erlang-questions] Cowboy vs Misultin

[Tobias]

Hi Andy,

I'm kind of fresh to Erlang and wrote a standalone Web Socket server as a learning project. Just out of curiosity, would you mind to run your tests against my implementation just to get an idea if I'm on the right track?

https://github.com/rodaebel/ewsd

$ cd ewsd;
$ make
$ bin/ewsd

The default handler just echoes incoming Web Socket messages.

Thanks in advance,
Tobias
