Cowboy POST Echo

To compile this example you need rebar in your PATH.

Type the following command:

$ rebar get-deps compile

You can then start the Erlang node with the following command:

./start.sh

Then point your browser to the indicated URL. You can change the GET parameter to check that the handler is echoing properly.

Then run the following command, replacing STRING_TO_ECHO by the string you want to echo. Check the curl_post.sh file for details.

./curl_post.sh STRING_TO_ECHO
