You can call query() on a uri and http::uri to grab the query string,
but we currently don't have a parser for them yet. It's on my TODO
list though. You could give writing one yourself based on
http://boost-spirit.com/home/articles/qi-example/parsing-a-list-of-key-value-pairs-using-spirit-qi/
a shot, it shouldn't be too hard.
