Great, thanks for this!

But have you considered making HTTPS an opt-in feature instead?  So
you'd have to define BOOST_NETWORK_HTTPS to *allow* HTTPS connections.

I'm not of a strong opinion either way but, in particular, I suspect
that the most common complaint we'll face from devs new to cpp-netlib
is that "the code doesn't compile" because they didn't know to add a
#define or a dependency to OpenSSL.

Cheers,
Matt
