[cpp-netlib-devel] Sending/receiving binary messages

[Nelson, E. - 2 <eri...@ba...>]

Is there any reason I can't send a binary response?

For example, the hello_world_server has

response = server::response::stock_reply(server::response::ok, "Hello,
World!");

Could I fill a string with binary data and send it like this?

String s("\0\0\0\0\0")
response = server::response::stock_reply(server::response::ok, s);

and get it out on the client side?  If so, would I use
boost::network::body(response) on the client side, or something else?

Thanks

Erik
