Boost.Beast is a thing: HTTP/WebSockets in C++11

25 points by vinniefalco ↗ HN
On July 20th, Beast was ACCEPTED into Boost without conditions. Beast is an HTTP and WebSockets protocol library using C++11 and Boost.Asio. The first official release will be in Boost 1.66.0 scheduled for December 2017. In the meanwhile, interested developers can use the develop branch:

https://github.com/boostorg/beast

There are a TON of example HTTP and WebSocket clients and servers that anyone can copy and use as the basis of their own robust implementation, check it out:

Can you remove the "(NEW!)" from the title? From the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
