You're welcome, I'm glad it's been useful to you. :)

Actually, it's better if you ask on the cpp-netlib-devel mailing list.
It's where the developers and users get together to ask questions and
help each other out. :)
What version of the library are you using?

Can you show the exact request that makes the server fail? There may
be a bug somewhere in the implementation that has something to do with
converting strings into numbers.
What browser are you using and can you send in your raw request data?
Thanks in advance and I hope to hear from you again soon (hopefully
this time on the developers mailing list). :)
Also, there's documentation on how to use the HTTP asynchronous server
from here: http://cpp-netlib.github.com/ -- let me know if you run
into any issues that you need further clarification about.
