The example HTTP server is updated to provide the correct MIME-type. It no longer uses the now-deprecated http::stream class, since that implementation does not provide flow control. A new example async_write function is provided in the asynchronous server for managing the lifetime of a message sent asynchronously. The logging is thread-safe, and a bug causing connections to malfunction is fixed.

Beast provides implementations of the HTTP and WebSocket protocols built on top of Boost.Asio and other parts of boost.
Requirements:
- Boost
- C++11 or greater
- OpenSSL (optional)
This software is currently in beta: interfaces are subject to change. For recent changes see CHANGELOG. The library has been submitted to the Boost Library Incubator
Example WebSocket program:
#include <beast/to_string.hpp>
#include <beast/websocket.hpp>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
// Normal boost::asio setup
std::string const host = "echo.websocket.org";
boost::asio::io_service ios;
boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver r(ios);
boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket sock(ios);
boost::asio::connect(sock,
r.resolve(boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver::query{host, "80"}));
// WebSocket connect and send message using beast
beast::websocket::stream<boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket&> ws(sock);
ws.handshake(host, "/");
ws.write(boost::asio::buffer("Hello, world!"));
// Receive WebSocket message, print and close using beast
beast::streambuf sb;
beast::websocket::opcode op;
ws.read(op, sb);
ws.close(beast::websocket::close_code::normal);
std::cout << to_string(sb.data()) << "\n";
}
Example HTTP program:
#include <beast/http.hpp>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
// Normal boost::asio setup
std::string const host = "boost.org";
boost::asio::io_service ios;
boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver r(ios);
boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket sock(ios);
boost::asio::connect(sock,
r.resolve(boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver::query{host, "http"}));
// Send HTTP request using beast
beast::http::request_v1<beast::http::empty_body> req;
req.method = "GET";
req.url = "/";
req.version = 11;
req.headers.replace("Host", host + ":" + std::to_string(sock.remote_endpoint().port()));
req.headers.replace("User-Agent", "Beast");
beast::http::prepare(req);
beast::http::write(sock, req);
// Receive and print HTTP response using beast
beast::streambuf sb;
beast::http::response_v1<beast::http::streambuf_body> resp;
beast::http::read(sock, sb, resp);
std::cout << resp;
}
