+Configuration for the HTTP/1.1 protocol.
+
+This configuration is passed to Cowboy when starting listeners
+using `cowboy:start_clear/4` or `cowboy:start_tls/4` functions.
+
+It can be updated without restarting listeners using the
+Ranch functions `ranch:get_protocol_options/1` and
+`ranch:set_protocol_options/2`.
+
+=== Option descriptions
+
+The default value is given next to the option name.
+
+env (#{})::
+    Middleware environment.
+
+max_empty_lines (5)::
+    Maximum number of empty lines before a request.
+
+max_header_name_length (64)::
+    Maximum length of header names.
+
+max_header_value_length (4096)::
+    Maximum length of header values.
+
+max_headers (100)::
+    Maximum number of headers allowed per request.
+
+max_keepalive (100)::
+    Maximum number of requests allowed per connection.
+
+max_request_line_length (8000)::
+    Maximum length of the request line.
+
+max_method_length (32)::
+    Maximum length of the method.
+
+middlewares ([cowboy_router, cowboy_handler])::
+    Middlewares to run for every request.
+
+request_timeout (5000)::
+    Time in ms with no requests before Cowboy closes the connection.
+
+== Changelog
+
+* *2.0*: The `max_method_length` option was added.
+* *2.0*: The `env` option is now a map instead of a proplist.
+* *2.0*: The `max_header_request_line_length` default was increased from 4096 to 8000.
+* *2.0*: The `compress` option was temporarily removed.
+* *2.0*: Options are now a map instead of a proplist.
+* *2.0*: Protocol introduced. Replaces `cowboy_protocol`.
