Hi,
The `http::make_chunk()` function returns a specialization of
`http::chunk_body` that meets the requirements of a
`ConstBufferSequence` in Asio:
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_85_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/ConstBufferSequence.html.
Instead of passing this to `http::write`, you should directly use
`asio::write` to write the data to the stream.
Regards,
Mohammad
