Hello,
Ok, so I figured out how to directly set the response message. For example:

response.content = "Hello world!"
response.status =  Server::response::ok;

http::request_header<http::tags::http_server> content_type =
                    {"Content-Type", "text/html"};

response.headers.push_back( content_type );


However, now I have the problem that response.content is a string. How do I
send binary data, such as an image file?

Thanks!
