Re: [Boost-users] [asio] Why are the strands in the "HTTP Server 3" example necessary?

I quickly checked the connection class and couldn't find a reason either why strand is used here. The comment in connection.hpp (///Strand to ensure the connection's handlers are not called concurrently) doesn't make any sense as a new asynchronous operation is only started when another ends. Maybe the strand is left over from an earlier version of the HTTP server?

I am using an all but identical implementation without the strands for quite some time now without any problems. They appear entirely superficial as far as I can see. Cheers, Stephan
