line 91 you have

worket_threads_

instead of

worker_threads_

I'm adding this as it was a suggestion from Phil Endecott on the boost developer's list:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/199084

In version 0.9.0 we have

(message.hpp - line 98)
string_type body() const {
return _body;
}

this does not work with
(linearize.hpp - line 140)
typename body_range::type body_data = body(request).range();
return boost::copy(body_data, oi);

.. since body(request) creates a new string_type,
the body_data range is invalid at the copy statement.

The easiest fix is to make the const body observer return a const reference.

(message.hpp - line 98)
string_type const& body() const {
return _body;
}

... may be an idea to do the same for source, destinarion and headers too.

when calling http::post, the payload buffer is copied a number of times

When compiling with gcc 4.4.3 and -O2 optimizations turned on, the boost::is_any_of("\r") checks in network/protocol/http/client/connection/sync_base.hpp cause an "array subscript is above array bounds" warning (which gets promoted to an error with -Werror). Changing this check to boost::is_from_range('\r', '\r') alleviates the issue.

Probably the same error noted here which is reported to be fixed in later versions:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555771

Is the change to boost::is_from_range() a reasonable interim workaround for this presumed compiler deficiency?

IMO, the URI code can be refactored so it is less coupled with HTTP. e.g. basic_uri in boost/network/uri.hpp contains a lot of functionality that only applies to an HTTP uri. I think it would be better to have a boost::network::basic_uri provide only a very coarse URI, which might cover:

://?

This is related to issue #15. In order to get this done, perhaps we need to order the URI into this kind of structure:

boost/network/uri/uri.hpp // rfc 3986
boost/network/uri/http/uri.hpp // rfc
boost/network/uri/mailto/uri.hpp // rfc 2368

etc.

We have a URI concept check, but not for Message.

Add a Message concept check and apply it to http::request and http::response.

Change the default from using the synchronous client to instead use the asynchronous client. This is so that the default choice will be the more feature-full choice. The other reason is so that the synchronous implementation is explicitly chosen and users who use it will know that they do want the blocking and potentially inefficient behavior implemented.

Including the file ciso646 in boost/network/uri/http/details/parse_specific.hpp will fix this.

calling acceptor.cancel will throw on windows xp and earlier as per BOOST_ASIO_ENABLE_CANCELIO docs, however calling acceptor.close seems to be an accepted way to fix this issue portably.

although im not sure what the wider implications might be.

I had to disable the Teredo Tunneling interface in Windows 7 to get the asynchronous server to run.

Since the Teredo Tunneling interface comes pre-enabled on vista and windows 7 it would be pretty swell to implement IPv6 support.

Another workaround that was suggested was to bind to a IPv4 address to force IPv4 usage.

This will be deceptively similar to #15 but with some important differences:

1. XMPP URIs have a resource element, e.g. [email protected]/resource
2. XMPP URIs can contain unicode values.

If we follow the scheme described in #18, the headers should be in:

boost/network/uri/xmpp/uri.hpp

While I tested on Windows using MSVC version 8.0, I had some compilation failures (beyond what has already been reported)

..\..\..\boost/network/protocol/http/connection.hpp(218) : error C2589: '(' : illegal token on right side of '::'

This is to do with the use of std::min. Boost library guidelines describe what can be done in this situtation:

Given the suggestion by Cliff Green from the Boost developers mailing list, add support for a user-provided io_service to both the client and server constructors.

This is in response to a question posted on the mailing list for a way to check whether a request object is technically "ready" if all the data is already available.

I cannot find use proxy example.
How write http get used proxy?

Implement the following namespace-level functions to act as accessor shortcuts to make deailing with messages easier:

template <class Tag>
typename basic_response<Tag>::string_type const
header(basic_response<Tag> & message, 
    typename basic_response<Tag>::string_type const & header_name,
    int offset = 0); // throws

template <class Tag>
boost::optional<typename basic_response<Tag>::string_type> const
header_nothrow(basic_response<Tag> & message,
    typename basic_response<Tag>::string_type const & header_name,
    int offset = 0); // no throw

This should be trivial to implement and should be easy to document as well.

This is especially important to resolve before submitting my XMPP client.

XMPP requires an XML parser, and various other components for security and authentication. It definitely falls outside the scope of our little project to rewrite the world and, in the case of some algorithms for cryptography, may violate the Boost license. So, it's necessary to define a policy for including such code in cpp-netlib or allowing the library to be extended to use such code.

First, it seems evident in our case that this can be partly done by deferring these to traits, so in the case of XML parsers we have:

namespace boost { namespace network { namespace traits {
template <
    class Tag
    >
struct xml_parser; // etc.
}}}

But where to put the parser code? So far, I've put things in the top level directory:

boost/network/xml/... (expat, libxml2)
boost/network/tls/... (gnutls)
boost/network/auth/...

but I don't think this is appropriate. Putting it in a subdirectory might be better:

boost/network/ext/xml/...

I would rule out "detail" because these aren't implementation details and may appear in the interface.

The questions to answer are therefore:

1. What is the best strategy for reusing 3rd party components?
2. Assuming that we write wrappers around every components, where do they belong in our directory structure?
3. How well does our Tag approach scale?

I think the XMPP client might be the first real test of the true extensibility of the Tag approach this project is taking.

From what I can tell from the documentation, cpp-netlib uses separate threads to facilitate asynchronous requests. It would be nice if an asynchronous implementation that didn't use threading was also available, so that I can issue many requests without having to create a thread for each - something like cURLs's multi interface or Qt's or libevent's event loop.

For example:

namespace bn = boost::network;
bn::uri::uri instance;
instance << bn::uri::scheme("http")
         << bn::uri::authority("cpp-netlib.github.com")
    ;

or:

bn::uri::uri instance;
instance << bn::uri::schemes::http()
         << bn::uri::authority("cpp-netlib.github.com")
    ;

or:

bn::uri::uri instance;
instance << bn::uri::schemes::mailto() << "[email protected]";

or:

bn::uri::uri instance;
instance << bn::uri::schemes::xmpp()
         << bn::uri::xmpp::node("guest")
         << bn::uri::xmpp::domain("example.com")
         << bn::uri::xmpp::resource("support")
    ;

Ive setup a build system using scons which utilizes mingw gcc on my winxp machine, i downloaded cpp-netlib 8.1, and am using boost_1_46_0.

All i need to do to reproduce the issue is have the line

"#include <boost/network/protocol/http/server.hpp>"

somewhere in my sourcecode, no actual usage of cppnet symbols is necessary.

I have here the full error output from a "-Wall -Wextra -pedantic --verbose" build, so it might be a little excessive, but im not sure whats going on here, so im hoping it helps more than hinders:

Let's try to change the landing page for cpp-netlib.github.com to just link to the documentation and to have action buttons directly to the different packages.

I tried with clear_headers, then adding the header with different value, like "application/json". It adds the header with the same key "Content-Type" twice and never removes the original "x-application/octet-stream".

The following code fails to compile on MSVC 8.0:

#include "boost/network/protocol/http/client.hpp"
#include "boost/network/protocol/http/server.hpp"
int
main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    typedef
        boost::network::http::basic_client<boost::network::tags::http_keepalive_8bit_udp_resolve, 1, 1> http_client;
    http_client client;
    return 0;
}

This fails with the following compilation error:

..\..\..\boost/network/protocol/http/policies/sync_resolver.hpp(25) : error C2059: syntax error : '<'
        ..\..\..\boost/network/protocol/http/policies/pooled_connection.hpp(25) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::network::http::policies::sync_resolver<Tag>' being compiled

We have some volunteer testers who are willing to donate some time and resources to testing on platforms that the core developers don't have access to.

We need to develop a procedure that allows us to take advantage of this in a non-intrusive way by automating as much of the testing as possible.

boost comes with a set of scripts for regression testing which is very useful. I'd like to re-use as much of this as possible, particularly the reporting part.

To do:

1. Write a script that downloads the latest version from mikhailberis/cpp-netlib, specifying the branch / revision - we don't need to go through the repository directly because github can generate a .tar.gz or .zip of this. This can be useful because git support on windows isn't so hot.
2. Then it's easy to have a script unpack and build it, as long as the host has a correct installation of boost
3. The results need to be reported ... but where? Is it possible to post them somewhere on github? Would that require testers to have github accounts?

I cannot build the cpp-netlib library completely because show status "Could NOT find Boost".
How to specific a path for including Boost?

-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++

Another issue reported on the Boost user's list:

Hi there, I'm trying to run http_client.cpp taken from the netlib
examples. But unfortunately it's throwing a lot of exceptions.

The line:

cout << body(response) << endl;

results into the following exceptions:

I'm using boost trunk with Visual Studio 10 compiling x64 bit code.

Anyone any idea what going on here?

Thanks,

Christian

on Windows, running two servers on the same port (e.g., run two instance of the simple_http_server example on the same port) causes undefined behavior. The second server should fail.

seems to be related to cpp-netlib's use of SO_REUSEADDR

I'm adding this as it was a suggestion from Phil Endecott on the boost developer's list:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/199084

a program like

#include "boost/network/protocol/http.hpp"
typedef network::http::basic_client<tags::http_keepalive_8bit_udp_resolve, 1, 1> http_client;
http_client();

makes an error

C:\work\boost\boost/asio/ssl/detail/openssl_types.hpp(23) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'openssl/conf.h': No such file or directory

if openssl is installed. this example shouldn't need OpenSSL.

boost/network/protocol/http/traits/resolver.hpp references
boost::asio::ip::tcp and boost::asio::ip::udp
but doesn't include headers to get them- needs to have

#include <boost/asio/ip/tcp.hpp>

#include <boost/asio/ip/udp.hpp>

added at the top

Develop a small example of a web feed.

One problem point is that this requires an XML parser, which is out of the cpp-netlib scope. Perhaps it would be easy to use [RapidXML](http://rapidxml.sourceforge.net/ RapidXML) in an example, which we could easily distribute.

Hi

Thank you for developing this library. I'm having trouble compiling the following
code with g++ (GCC) 4.4.4 20100726 (Red Hat 4.4.4-13) - RHEL 6 with boost 1.41
However, the same code works on my OS X Machine using
i686-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3) with
boost 1.46.1

I tried both 0.9.0 and git versions.

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#define BOOST_NETWORK_NO_LIB 1
#include "boost/network/uri.hpp"

int main()
{

std::string remote_info("sip:192.168.1.50");
boost::network::uri::uri instance(remote_info);
assert(boost::network::uri::valid(instance));

std::cout << "scheme: " << boost::network::uri::scheme(instance) << std::endl
          << "host: " << boost::network::uri::host(instance) << std::endl
          << "path: " << boost::network::uri::path(instance) << std::endl
          << "port: " << boost::network::uri::port(instance) << std::endl;

return true;
}

I appreciate any help.

The main difficulty here would be that the existing framework supports HTTP URIs, and it's implementation isn't very clean. We'd need to refactor this parser into the boost::network::uri::http namespace first.

Dean is in favour of a 2-stage parsing approach, first a general parser then a specialized parser.

if you bind async_server::run to a thread and then immediately call stop on that server instance, you can end up with a sync issue where calling cancel or similar on the acceptor will throw because it may not be open and listening yet.

a possible fix would be to check if async_server is in listening mode yet or not, and then only attempt to cancel the acceptor if so.

further, checking if async_server is stopping before attempting to start_listening would be useful too.

boost/network/protocol/http/policies/sync_resolver.hpp
and
boost/network/protocol/http/detail/connection_helper.hpp

both refer to the string class and need

#include <boost/network/traits/string.hpp>

added to them

parse_uri_impl.cpp no longer compiles under Visual Studio 2008 SP1 after moving from boost 1.54 to 1.46.1 with error:

Error 34 error C2664: 'boost::spirit::qi::transform_attribute<Exposed,Transformed>::pre' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'boost::optional' to 'boost::spirit::qi::optional &' c:\devel\boost_1_46_1\boost\spirit\home\qi\nonterminal\rule.hpp 266

Since Boost.Log has been formally accepted into boost (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.announce/257), I'd like to develop a server example that incorporates this.

Take the example in hello_world_server and implement the log member function.

Hello, thanks for the great library!!!
I try to build test project (server_async.cpp) with boost 1.44 and cpp-netlib-0.9.0 with VIsual Studio 2008.
I'am add only #define BOOST_NETWORK_NO_LIB
Source code was compile and linked successful.

#define BOOST_NETWORK_NO_LIB

namespace net = boost::network;
namespace http = boost::network::http;
namespace utils = boost::network::utils;

struct async_hello_world;
typedef http::async_server<async_hello_world> server;

struct async_hello_world {

    struct is_content_length {
        template <class Header>
        bool operator()(Header const & header) {
            return boost::iequals(name(header), "content-length");

    if (argc > 1) port = argv[1];
    server instance("localhost", port, handler, thread_pool, http::_reuse_address=true);
    instance.run();
    return 0;
}

Program started, but if i go to http://localhost:8000/ i get exception

Help me please!
Sorry for bad english

Make the HTTP Client facade use Boost.Parameter to allow for easily adding new supported parameters as time goes on. This should make it easier to make backwards-source-compatible changes to the API and introduce new features and flags.

This should change the parsing and state management of connections a bit, but should be doable.

As an adjunct to #4 there should be a new tag to support messages or basic_request<>'s that have streams for bodies.

Make sure that the status line (first line) and headers come as a single buffer and a single write to allay the clients that require that this information be available in a single packet.

This should be in the "what's new" section, and there should be a new section describing this among other configuration macros.

From a message on the Boost user's list:

Hi there, when compiling basic tests of netlib 0.7 one has to include
boost/thread.hpp. A small change is also needed in line of
parse_uri.hpp[28] from

#if SPIRIT_VERSION > 0x2030

to

#if SPIRIT_VERSION >= 0x2030

I'm using Visual Studio 10 Express. Also the time it takes to compile
a simple test is very high. I hope this will change with the upcoming

0.8 version.
