Vinnie Falco e8be3fd7d3 New HTTP interfaces (API Change):
fix #123
fix #154
fix #265

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

[section:example Examples]
These usage examples are intended to quickly impress upon readers the
flavor of the library. They are complete programs which may be built
and run. Source code and build scripts for these programs may be found
in the examples directory.
[heading HTTP GET]
Use HTTP to request the root page from a website and print the response:
```
#include <beast/http.hpp>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/lexical_cast.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<beast::http::string_body> req;
req.method = "GET";
req.url = "/";
req.version = 11;
req.fields.replace("Host", host + ":" +
boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(sock.remote_endpoint().port()));
req.fields.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<beast::http::streambuf_body> resp;
beast::http::read(sock, sb, resp);
std::cout << resp;
}
```
[heading WebSocket]
Establish a WebSocket connection, send a message and receive the reply:
```
#include <beast/core/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(std::string("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 << beast::to_string(sb.data()) << "\n";
}
```
[heading WebSocket Echo Server]
This example demonstrates both synchronous and asynchronous
WebSocket server implementations.
* [@examples/websocket_async_echo_server.hpp]
* [@examples/websocket_sync_echo_server.hpp]
* [@examples/websocket_echo.cpp]
[heading Secure WebSocket]
Establish a WebSocket connection over an encrypted TLS connection,
send a message and receive the reply. Requires OpenSSL to build.
* [@examples/websocket_ssl_example.cpp]
[heading HTTPS GET]
This example demonstrates sending and receiving HTTP messages
over a TLS connection. Requires OpenSSL to build.
* [@examples/http_ssl_example.cpp]
[heading HTTP Crawl]
This example retrieves the page at each of the most popular domains
as measured by Alexa.
* [@examples/http_crawl.cpp]
[heading HTTP Server]
This example demonstrates both synchronous and asynchronous server
implementations. It also provides an example of implementing a [*Body]
type, in `file_body`.
* [@examples/file_body.hpp]
* [@examples/http_async_server.hpp]
* [@examples/http_sync_server.hpp]
* [@examples/http_server.cpp]
