Hello, In the code bellow I have forgotten to set the input vector (request) size. Is the code really supposed to react as an infinite loop (no errors, length is always 0, boost::asio::read returns immediately)
Probably. What else would you expect? I expect someone from asio authers to tell me if the behavior I have described shall be considered as normal or defective. We understand we shall reconsider our approach to using asio but I believe we need this very additional information to do it the proper way. I would prefer a error message or crash because it is logically to suppose the asio would resize the vector or emit a error because it cannot handle situation properly (IMO). The concern behind the issue is working time and money -- it is really tricky for inexperienced boost users to figure out the culprit of the behavior. The program does not crash, it reports no errors and it just does not work.
