Thanks.
Now that I spent some time reading through you tutorial I have a question -- what exactly is the demuxer object? At first I thought that it somehow relates to the "demultiplexer" pattern. However, considering a simple TCP client, which just connects to the server, sends a request, and then reads the response, I don't see how demultiplexer is related here. If I write a similar program using winsock, I can't see anything analogous...
Can you ellaborate on this?
A hint: What do you think 'asio' stands for?
A question: then why does the tutorial have such examples as "A _synchronous_ TCP daytime client", etc., that also use the demuxer? Does it mean the library emulates synchronous operations using asynchronous facilities? Regards, Arkadiy
