Re: [Boost-users] [beast] I can't write a hello world server.

...

What I need is a way for the user-code to yield, and then resume later when it has the info it needs to build the response.

I used beast::websocket to keep the https connection open with a client and used boost::asio::post() on the server. This way, a worker thread on the server can submit a job for processing and go listen for new incoming requests. Some worker thread will be called-back to run a completion function when the response is ready.

Yeah, I didn't know about boost::asio::post() until yesterday. Looks like this is the way, thanks.

Please review http_server_async.cpp and websocket_server_async.cpp files in the examples page.

Will do. Loup.
