fix#1435, fix#1438
* Example and test can be built on msvc v141 15.9.6
using /std:c++17 and BOOST_BEAST_USE_STD_STRING_VIEW.
* changed string_view.to_string() to std:string(string_view),
awaiting availability of Library Fundamentals TS here.
* Reactivated relevant tests to param_list. #ifdef 0 test
exhibited same assertion failed error in debug mode.
Now fixed in DEBUG on msvc v141 15.9.6 with
BOOST_BEAST_USE_STD_STRING_VIEW and /std:c++17.
* Looked up http paramters (transfer-encoding, etc.)
and changed tests as well as fixing comment to
match specs.
fix#1417
* New get_lowest_layer free function works for any object
* New lowest_layer_type trait works for any object
* New examples and documentation on layered streams
API Changes:
* The member function lowest_layer is removed from all
types provided by the library:
Actions Required:
* Call the free function get_lowest_layer instead of
member lowest_layer.
* The function buffers is deprecated, use the new
function make_printable as the replacement.
Actions Required:
* Replace call sites to use make_printable instead of buffers,
and also include make_printable.hpp instead of ostream.hpp.
fix#1290
* BOOST_ASIO_NO_DEPRECATED=1 is now set
* Fix various warnings from the Boost regression test matrix
* Fix a bug in advanced servers when checking for a timeout
fix#1237
HTTP client examples now verify the server's certificate
and generate an error if the certificate is invalid or
expired:
* Set certificate verify mode
* Remove duplicate root certificate
The ssl_stream wrapper provides C++11 move semantics for ssl::stream,
as well as incorporating the flat_stream workaround for a performance
problem with ssl::stream writes and buffer sequences having length
greater than one.
fix#1108
The `flat_stream` is a stream wrapper designed to overcome a
performance limitation of the `boost::asio::ssl::stream`
implementation. Specifically, when writing buffer sequences having
length greater than one, the `ssl::stream` implementation does
not use scatter-gather I/O and instead performs a kernel transition
for every buffer in the sequence.
The wrapper addresses this problem by allocating memory and
presenting the buffer sequence into a single buffer, using
some logic to determine when this allocation is advantageous
versus simply passing the buffers through as-is.

fix#1076
As per Asio and Networking TS requirements, composed operations must
maintain an object of type executor_work_guard for the executor associated
with the I/O object, for the lifetime of the asynchronous operation.
This is in addition to the requirement for maintaining an object of type
executor_work_guard for the executor associated with the handler.
* The handler_ptr constructor now provides the
strong exception guarantee.
* The signature for managed objects constructed by
`handler_ptr` receives a const reference to the handler.
Actions required:
* Change the constructor signature for state objects
used with handler_ptr to receive a const reference to
the handler.
fix#899
The timer logic for the advanced-server and advanced-server-flex
examples is refactored to use idle pings when the connection has
not seen activity for some period of time. This demonstrates the
use of the stream's control_callback interface.
fix#769
The following classes are removed:
* handler_type
* async_result
* async_completion
* is_dynamic_buffer
* is_const_buffer_sequence
* is_mutable_buffer_sequence
* handler_alloc
Actions Required:
* Use BOOST_ASIO_HANDLER_TYPE instead of handler_type
* Use BOOST_ASIO_INITFN_RESULT_TYPE instead of async_result
* Use boost::asio::async_completion
* Use boost::asio::is_dynamic_buffer
* Use boost::asio::is_const_buffer_sequence
* Use boost::asio::is_mutable_buffer_sequence
* boost::asio::associated_allocator_t replaces handler_alloc
fix#767
The write family of HTTP stream algorithms no longer returns
error::end_of_stream when the message indicates that the connection
should be closed.
Actions Required:
* Add code to servers to close the connection after successfully
writing a message where `message::keep_alive()` would return `false`.
fix#773
* buffer_prefix is renamed to buffers_prefix
* buffer_prefix_view is renamed to buffers_prefix_view
Actions Required:
* Use buffers_prefix instead of buffer_prefix
* Use buffers_prefix_view instead of buffer_prefix_view
fix#778
* The version data member is replaced with accessor
member functions.
Actions Required:
* Call member function message::version instead of accessing
the version member at call sites.
fix#778
* The body data member is replaced with accessor
member functions.
Actions Required:
* Call member function message::body instead of accessing
the data member at call sites.
* HTTP read and write operations now return the
number of bytes transferred to or from the stream.
Actions Required:
* Modify HTTP read and/or write completion handlers to receive
the extra std::size_t bytes_transferred parameter.
* Stream write operations now return the number of bytes
transferred from the caller's input buffers.
Actions Required:
* Modify websocket write completion handlers to receive
the extra std::size_t bytes_transferred parameter.
fix#575, fix#604, fix#608, fix#634, fix#712
All examples are rewritten:
* Using Best Practices
* Mostly self-contained
* New examples to complete the feature matrix
* The server-framework example is removed
* teardown_tag is replaced with teardown_role, a client/server
flag used to determine whether the shutdown is performed
before or after reading the EOF. This is in accordance with
RFC6455 7.1.1:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-7.1.1
Actions Required:
* Modify signatures of teardown and async_teardown to use
teardown_role instead of teardown_tag
* Change calls to teardown and async_teardown to pass the
correct role: client or server depending on context.
fix#642
* Calls to stream::close and stream::async_close will
automatically perform the required read operations
Actions Required:
* Remove calling code which drains the connection after
calling stream::close or stream::async_close
