API Changes:
`string_param`, which was previously the argument type when setting field values
has been replaced by `string_view`. Because of this, it is no longer possible to
set message field values directly as integrals.
Users are required to convert numeric arguments to a string type prior to calling
`fields::set` et. al.
Beast provides the non-allocating `to_static_string()` function for this purpose.
To set Content-Length field manually, call `message::content_length`.
fixes#1956
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#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#1113
This solves a problem where the message-oriented synchronous
HTTP write algorithms do not support messages whose body
writer requires a non-const reference to the message in
order to construct.
In addition, the message-oriented async_write algorithm is
modified to support messages passed by const reference when
possible, based on the body writer attributes.
fix#884
* BodyReader and BodyWriter constructors now require the header and
body elements to be passed as distinct header and value_type objects.
This enables the composition of body types, for example:
http::response<compressed_body<http::string_body>> res;
* The previous single-argument constructors are deprecated and will be
removed in a subsequent version.
Actions Required:
* Change user-defined instances of BodyReader or BodyWriter constructor
signatures to the two-argument form.
OR
* Define the macro BOOST_BEAST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED in the project (which
will accept both the new and the deprecated signatures).
Body::reader and Body::writer meanings are reversed, for
consistency with the names of the stream operations:
* Body::reader is used for read, read_some, async_read, async_read_some
* Body::writer is used for write, write_some, async_write, async_write_some
Actions Required:
* Swap the reader and writer names for user defined Body types
* Swap use of is_body_reader and is_body_writer
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#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.
