[cpp-netlib-devel] Cpp-netlib Comments

[Fernando P. <fpe...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am new in the list.
I write this because I want to talk to Dean or Glyn about the NetLib.

I downloaded cpp-netlib-0.5, cpp-netlib-0.6 and cpp-netlib-0.61yesterday.
I found some problems in the library.

I tested the "Hello World Client" example on MSVC 9.0 on Windows XP.
The issues are:

1. Dependencies to OpenSSL.
          The "boost/network/protocol/http/impl/sync_connection_base.hpp"
depends on "boost/network/protocol/http/impl/sync_connection_base.hpp" and
the las depends on "boost/asio/ssl.hpp"

          I am not using secure connections.


2. Compilation error.
        The "boost/network/uri/http/detail/parse_specific.hpp" file has the
following lines:

               *if (not boost::iequals(parts.scheme.substr(0, 4), "http"))*


        and

               *if (not boost::iequals(parts.scheme.substr(0, 5), "https"))*


        The keyword "not" is undeclared.

        Could be this way?

                *#define not    !*


3. Async operations.
         This is not an error, but I think the library should support
asynchronous operations, like ASIO. I have not found it.


Sorry if this mail was sent to a wrong list. In this case, please tell me
where I can send.
Count on me to lend a hand with the development of netlib

Regards,
Fernando Pelliccioni.
