[cpp-netlib-devel] http server request path()

[Timothy S. <tim...@gm...>]

I apologize in advance, my C++ is fairly weak.  I was trying to make a
simple http server using cpp netlib v.0.8.  The first problem I ran into was
the undefined "_or" problem, which I got around by including foreach.hpp (I
believe the other thread recommended #include <boost/mpl/or.hpp> which I'm
sure is a more direct solution).

Anyhow, I haven't been able to figure out how to fix my second problem.
 Here is the code, which I've stripped down to the "Hello World" example.
 I'm working with Visual Studio 2008.

I receive the error:

Error 1 error C2039: 'path' : is not a member of
'boost::network::http::basic_request<boost::network::http::tags::http_server>'
d:\dev\c++\lib\boost\boost_1_44\boost\network\protocol\http\message\wrappers\path.hpp
CPPNetLibTest 27


I think it has something to do with the forward declaration of basic_request
in path.hpp, and the fact that path.hpp tries to access path() before it is
fully defined (but like I said, my C++ is weak).  I tried replacing the
forward declaration with various attempts at a #include, but I ran into
hosts of other problems with that.

Can anyone recommend an easy solution?

Thanks in advance.
