Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] Having some questions on cpp-netlib

[Dean M. B. <mik...@gm...>]

Hi Alex, I'm currently in the middle of a project that is requiring my 100%
attention, so I may not be able to respond right away. I'll let the others
on the list respond but I am working on an asynchronous client
implementation. I'll say more when I'm at a full computer. Hope this helps.

 Hello!

 Sorry, I am not a developer, I am simply interesting on cpp-netlib library,
but I was not found any support mailing list.

 My questions are:
1) HTTP client and SSL. How I can compile client without HTTPS support
(which adds dependency on openssl library). I try to define
BOOST_NETWORK_NO_HTTPS, but it not work. I try to lookup in code for
BOOST_NETWORK_NO_HTTPS or BOOST_NETWORK_HTTPS, but there is no occurences
found.
Some https features found in
boost\network\protocol\http\impl\sync_connection_base.hpp, but they are
unconditional and can't be stripped.

2) cpp-netlib is hard C++ library, and I can't understand it.
I think that HTTP server (in sample) is serial (not a parallel) and handles
requests consistently. Hard worker requests can easy get denial of service
when incoming connection overfull connection accept queue. I am right? Is
the way to make parallel server, which handles requess in different threads?

3) Is there way to stop client from other thread?
Such illustrated above:
-- worker thread --
client.get(); // client.post() etc
-------------------

-- GUI thread --
if (canceled && client.in_progress()) client.abort();
----------------

Or, may be there is the way to install callback which periodicaly receives
client status events (such as "resolving", "connecting", "awaiting_reply")
and can return value to signal that abort needed (true for continue, false
to abort, as sample)

Or, may be client can be used in async mode such here:
client.get();
while( not canceled and client.in_progress() and not client.done()) {}

4) Is there the way to make secure (https) server?


Thank you for your attention,
                             Alex Martynov.
