I have a follow-up question of a more general nature. I think the Boost libraries are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but there are times when a simpler approach will suffice. We can see in these 2 lines of code that we are mixing STL with Boost:

boost::asio::streambuf request; std::ostream request_stream(&request);

Is there any STL class that can be used above, instead of boost::asio::streambuf?

Something like std::ostringstream? std::ostringstream request_stream; request_stream << "GET " << argv[2] << " HTTP/1.0\r\n"; request_stream << "Host: " << argv[1] << "\r\n"; request_stream << "Accept: */*\r\n"; request_stream << "Connection: close\r\n\r\n"; std::string request = request_stream.str(); Regards, Anders Dalvander
