Im playing around with the /boost_asio/example/http/server3 and using POST method. The bytes_transferred is 231, but thats only the header and ends with \r\n\r\n, need to read the rest. Sometimes i get bytes_transferred to 1032, the right amount of data, sometimes i get bytes_transferred = 231, but if i print the buffer_ i have all the 1032 bytes. Is it right that the bytes in the buffer_ and the bytes_transferred is not the same?
appreciate any help. /christer
It is normal for async_read_some to read less than the size requested. Think of it as a request to read whatever is available up to a maximum size. If you wish to read the whole buffer, then check out ::boost::asio::async_read at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/async _read.html Depending on your needs, you might also use ::boost::asio::async_read_until http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/async _read_until.html
