Hi Alex!

Sorry about the really late response, this is embarrassing to me --
I'm usually not this late when responding. That said, please see

There *should* be a way to do this, but I'm afraid this is a fringe
requirement that isn't really standard HTTP. With cpp-netlib, I don't
think we will be supporting this anytime soon unless there's real
demand for it. One thing to consider is to use Boost.Asio directly to
do it, sidestepping the HTTP server that cpp-netlib provides.

Another thing worth thinking about is supporting SCTP, which is
gaining popularity for internal network communications for high
throughput networking requirements. This is something that Boost.Asio
is yet to support and is still in the early stages of support.

Until Boost.Asio supports SCTP I might not be inclined to support it
earlier than that. ;)

HTH!
