You'd have to base 64 encode and decode any binary data in HTTP. There's
nothing in cpp-netlib which does this, but you can use:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/trunk/boost/archive/iterators/base64_from_binary.hpp
before copying your data to the message on the server and.
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/trunk/boost/archive/iterators/binary_from_base64.hpp
for the client.
