[cpp-netlib-devel] cpp-netlib async server request - bad cast exception thrown

[Max M. <ma...@kt...>]

Hey everybody.

I have a problem using the asynchronous server version of the cpp-netlib. As soon as I make a request a bad_cast exception is cast on the thread that ran .run().

I am making a request to "http://localhost:11200/proxy/?url=http://www.google.se", but all other requests seem to fail aswell.

This is working fine for the synchronous version of the server. I am making this request from firefox. Also, I am using v0.8 of the library.

Any ideas? Checking the documentation for using the async-server, it seems to be pretty identical to what I am doing.

 //asyncproxy.cpp
#include <string>
#include "asyncproxy.h"

namespace proxy {
        void ASyncProxy::startProxy(std::string url, std::string port)
        {
            boost::network::utils::thread_pool thread_pool(2);
            http_server server(url, port, *this, thread_pool);
            server.run();
        }
        ASyncProxy::ASyncProxy(void (*callback)(std::string))
        {
            this->callback = callback;
        }
        void ASyncProxy::operator()(http_server::request const & req, http_server::connection_ptr connection)
        {
            connection->set_status(http_server::connection::ok);
        }
}

int main()
{
       proxy::ASyncProxy prox(&writeQueue);
       prox.startProxy("localhost", 11200);
}

    //asyncproxy.h
#include <boost\network\protocol\http\server.hpp>
#include <boost\network\utils\thread_pool.hpp>

namespace proxy {

    struct ASyncProxy {
        typedef boost::network::http::async_server<ASyncProxy> http_server;
    public:
        void startProxy(std::string url, std::string port);
        ASyncProxy(void (*callback)(std::string));
        void operator()(http_server::request const & req, http_server::connection_ptr connection);
    private:
        void (*callback)(std::string);
    };
}
#endif
