Hi everyone,
I'm trying to integrate the manual chunked encoding example [0] into the
sync-server example [1] and have difficulties understanding a compiler
error. I thought I might find some help in this mailing list.
Here's my diff to the original example:

// Handles an HTTP server connection
I'm passing a TCP socket as well as the result of http::make_chunk() with a
net::const_buffer to http::write() which, if I understand correctly, is the
same thing that is done in the example.
However, I'm getting the following error when compiling:
.../server-sync/src/beast.cpp: In instantiation of ‘void

| ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The same thing happens for the send_last_chunk() call.
Why isn't the call to write() working? Did I misunderstand something in the
example?
I'm using boost 1.71 and am compiling with GCC 10.3.0.
Let me know if you need any more details.
Thanks in advance for any help
