Re: [boost] [boost::asio] can't read into short streambuf

I try to use asio::read_until() with a asio::streambuf of limited size and get the following error for sizes < 512:

"boost::asio::streambuf too long"

For sizes >= 512 everything works fine.

Yep I'm aware of this problem, but don't have a fix implemented for it yet. When I first implemented the streambuf class I assumed that the max_size value was really just there to prevent memory exhaustion, and would always be very large. However later I realised there are use cases for setting a small max_size. I will try to fix this be soon. For now, don't set it to a small value :) Cheers, Chris
