Re: [boost] Interest in a Boost.Network Library?

Will not it be nice to have a library to parse URI's, URLs, EMAIL IDs and to validate them? Regards, Reetesh Mukul

It's fairly straightforward to do the parsing using Boost Spirit, but when you say "validate them" presumably you mean test whether they exist.

Actually, someone (Peter Simons I believe) has implemented something similar using Boost.Spirit which he announced on the Spirit Mailing list as well -- he will also be helping out in developing the networking library. I intend to include these parsers and other things (maybe static implementations using proto) into the library as well, so it'll be very happy with RFC's. If you want just these parsers, you can already get them from http://cryp.to/librfc2822/ . Hope this helps! -- Dean Michael C.
