This is a series of simple tutorials to learn Boost ASIO.

This tutorial creates a simple application that connects to a URL provided on the command line, downloads the page via HTTP synchronously, and prints it to stdout.

This tutorial creates a simple HTTP server that receives connections, parses HTTP GET requests, and responds with a file. The files will be resolved relative to a directory passed in on the command line when the server starts. It will also log the requests to stdout.

This tutorial creates a simple application that connects to a URL provided on the command line, downloads the page via HTTP asynchronously, and prints it to stdout. The application will still be single threaded however. This tutorial is similar to Tutorial 1: Simple wget, the main difference is we will be using the async_* version of the Boost ASIO functions.
