Re: [Boost-users] stop a socket

I would like you to explain me a detail of io_service. In my case I attach a socket to the io_service but if the socket is still open the io_service.stop() does not work as expected. Is there a way to close the socket just through the related io_service?

io_service doesn't open or close sockets, its only processes completion handlers. Close sockets using socket::close().
