It's possible to specialize the message to support different containers.
Something like this:

namespace boost { namespace network {
template <>
struct string<binary_parser_tag> {
    typedef boost::array<T, 1024> type;
};
}}

Or whatever structure suits your needs.  See
<boost/network/message/traits/string.hpp>
