Anyone tried building a web service client based on existing boost library components such as asio? Like to share, or brag :-) about your experience?
The answer here for me is no, but... I did look at the architecture coupled with the new boost::iostreams library so here is what I basically asked at BostCon 2008 during the ASIO presentation. Would it make sense to use ASIO and boost iostreams (filters) to make a communications foundations layer which would provide the following: Client->boost::iostream::HTTP->boost::iostream::SSL->ASIO->~network~->ASIO->boost::iostream:SSL::boost::iostream::HTTP->Server iostreams library has the concept of filters which could provide transformations on data. I also looked into creating stream operators like std::endl (an example) to preform actions on the stream. These are just my thoughts for what they are worth. Brian
A web service server is probably more involved. Doing a client should be a nice first step, and helps build a common foundation forward.
