Try the boost devel mailing list (gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel). ASIO questions there appear to get answered very quickly. At some point I assume they will be answered quickly here too.

PS, I believe there are SSL tutorials for ASIO... but you probably already knew that. :)

Thanks for the info. On the contrary, if there are SSL tutorials for ASIO I have not been able to find them in the docs. The best I found were two undocumented files (client.cpp/server.cpp) that demonstrate creating an SSL connection with ASIO. But I have more questions than those 2 files can answer. I'll try the boost developers list. Thanks.
