The Networking TS #223

Open Type1J opened 6 years ago

Type1J commented 6 years ago

The library can use standalone ASIO and Boost ASIO. Because ASIO has a new incarnation in the C++ standard itself (The Networking TS) AND a compatibility layer, the Networking TS should be the sole target in future versions. This should make Simple-Web-Server more portable and I believe removes ALL external dependencies.

Yes this is the end goal, but we have to also consider older compilers and 5-year LTS's. However, in the meanwhile, it might be that we can support std::net as we do both asio and boost::asio Today.
