Simple boost asio based sync and async http client and http and https server
WHAT IS JRB NODE
This is a C++11 library that provides a boost.asio based sync and async http client and server http and https (via openssl) are supported in both the client and the server
The http_parser library from joyent is used to parse http (https://github.com/joyent/http-parser/)
RATIONALE
Currently there is no boost asio https server open source library. I wanted to see if I could make a simple library. I re-used http_parser so that I did not have to debug async parsing of http Then I built up templated classes to handle reading http requests into headers and body and reused those classes
