You're welcome. :)

Ah, yes, the example is only in 0.9-devel at the moment and will be
coming out in 0.9 (beta coming within the week).

Ah, it actually just says that you can't push a `response_header<...>`
into a vector of `request_header<...>`. I remember this being
something I fixed in the 0.9-devel branch and which is an oversight on
my part in 0.8.

Code like this should work:

    boost::network::http::request_header<boost::network::tags::http_server>
      content_type = {"Content-Type", "application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml"};
    response.push_back(content_type);

If that still doesn't work, let me know because that would be a serious problem.

Have a good one and I hope this helps.
