It seems to me to be an obvious thing to do, but my question to you is "Do you know of anyone who has done it?" (in some kind of open source project)

What about: http://cpp-netlib.github.com/

Looks interesting. This page in particular looks like it's getting close to what I was talking about: http://cpp-netlib.github.com/0.9.0/message.html I realize the project is new and the docs may not be complete, but every other page seems to be about its HTTP implementation. Even the generic basic_message class presumes a headers/body structure. HTTP is often thought of as a half-duplex message/response protocol because it (mostly) stateless and originally closed the connection after every response. I was interested more in a general facility for a common low-level protocol buffering pattern.

Apparently it will be submitted for review someday: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/67431
