[section Clients]

These HTTP clients submit a GET request to a server specified on the command
line, and prints the resulting response. The crawl client asynchronously
fetches the document root of the 10,000 top ranked domains, this may be
used to evaluate robustness. All asynchronous clients support timeouts.

server and send a message, then receive a message and print the response
before disconnecting. All asynchronous clients support timeouts.

These WebSocket servers echo back any message received, keeping the
session open until the client disconnects. All asynchronous servers
support timeouts.

[section:chat_server Chat Server __video__]

This example demonstrates a websocket chat server, allowing multiple
users to connect and participate in live, group messaging. It comes
with a tiny front end implemented in JavaScript and HTML5 which runs
in any browser. The example is accompanied by a one hour presentation
which provides a discussion of networking concepts, followed by in-depth
explanation of how the client and server are constructed. This talk
was delivered at [@https://cppcon.org CppCon 2018]. The source code
in the Beast example contains improvements to the original program.
