I've tried a bit to get the git dev tools set up, but the company
firewall doesn't allow SSH traffic as far as I can tell, and I haven't
managed to figure out how to clone the repository over http.
 
At any rate, in
\boost\network\protocol\http\traits\impl\request_methods.ipp I changed 
 
static char const * const DELETE = "DELETE";
 
to
 
static char const * const DELETE_ = "DELETE";
 
and made the corresponding change to the next line.
 
apologies for the un-handy patch style... I'll try to figure out a
better way.
