I can confirm that I get the same error using MSVC 8.0 with the following
code:

#include "boost/network/protocol/http/client.hpp"
#include "boost/network/protocol/http/server.hpp"


int
main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    typedef

 boost::network::http::basic_client<boost::network::tags::http_keepalive_8bit_udp_resolve,
1, 1> http_client;
    http_client client;
    return 0;
}

You only pasted part of the compiler error message, the lines following this
are:

..\..\..\boost/network/protocol/http/policies/sync_resolver.hpp(25) : error
C2039: 'type' : is not a member of '`global namespace''
..\..\..\boost/network/protocol/http/policies/sync_resolver.hpp(25) : error
C2238: unexpected token(s) preceding ';'
..\..\..\boost/network/protocol/http/policies/sync_resolver.hpp(26) : error
C2065: 'string_type' : undeclared identifier
..\..\..\boost/network/protocol/http/policies/sync_resolver.hpp(32) : error
C2061: syntax error : identifier 'string_type'
..\..\..\boost/network/protocol/http/policies/pooled_connection.hpp(28) :
error C2059: syntax error : '<'
..\..\..\boost/network/protocol/http/policies/pooled_connection.hpp(28) :
error C2039: 'type' : is not a member of '`global namespace''
..\..\..\boost/network/protocol/http/policies/pooled_connection.hpp(28) :
error C2238: unexpected token(s) preceding ';'
..\..\..\boost/network/protocol/http/policies/pooled_connection.hpp(31) :
error C2059: syntax error : ','

etc.

and the code that appears to be failing is:

typedef typename string<Tag>::type string_type;


I managed to make this compile by changing this line to:

typedef typename boost::network::string<tag>::type string_type;


but clearly this is just masking the real error because it complains about
it not finding this type in the global namespace.  My guess is an ADL error
but I don't have the time to go looking for this right now.

I have created an issue:

Thanks for spotting this,
Glyn
