 Hello!

 I want to implement HTTP-like client and server over UDP. It is used in Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP), which is the part of UPnP. Now I wrote simple implementation without cpp-netlib.


> >  Is there the way to use HTTP server on UDP? I want to implement HTTP-like protocol over UDP. That protocol is like HTTP, but works on UDP and have different set of headers, so I need the headers such "Content-Lenght" wouldn't automaticaly added to set of headers.
