* parser now has a callback feature for intercepting chunk headers
and chunk bodies
* The names for basic_parser derived class callbacks have been
refactored
* basic_parser offers an additional callback for distinguishing
chunk body data.
Actions Required:
* Adjust signatures for required members of user-defined
subclasses of basic_parser
* Use the new basic_parser chunk callbacks for accessing
chunk extensions and chunk bodies.
fix#185, fix#489
* SSE4.2 is detected
* basic_parser uses SSE4.2 if available
* basic_parser tries to parse on the initial buffer and if
it does not find the end of header it shifts to a new
strategy of waiting for the end of header to defeat
slow loris attacks. This coincidentally is also faster
than the previous algorithm.
`put` returns the number of bytes actually transferred
from the input buffers.
Actions Required:
* Return the number of bytes actually transferred from the
input buffers in user defined `Body::writer::put` functions.
* header::result is a family of functions to replace header::status
* header interface now uses status enum and also ints
* reason-phrase is no longer stored unless the user explicitly
requests it.
* When serializing, the standard reason is used for the
corresponding status code unless the user has changed it.
fix#404
Parsing and serialization interfaces have been fine tuned and unified.
For parsing these stream operations are defined:
* read
* read_header
* read_some
* async_read
* async_read_header
* async_read_some
For serialization these stream operations are defined:
* write
* write_header
* write_some
* async_write
* async_write_header
* async_write_some

This completely replaces the HTTP parser used to read and
parse incoming messages. The new version is faster than
the old one, and written in fewer lines. A summary of
changes:
* parse and async_parse renamed to read and async_read
* basic_parser is optimized for linear buffers,
use flat_streambuf for the best performance with these
functions:
- http::read
- http::read_some
- http::async_read
- http::async_read_some
* The overloads of read() and async_read() which take
just a header have been removed, since they would
throw away important parse metadata.
* The derived class callbacks for basic_parser have
been streamlined. All strings passed to callbacks
are presented in their entirety, instead of being
provided in pieces.
These changes allow use-cases that were previously
difficult or impossible, such as:
- Efficient relaying
- Late body type commitment
- Expect: 100-continue handling
