I've had an ultra quick look (hopefully
 can do something better later) and it seems quite good.
It seems to use asio async primitives
correctly as far as I've read.
Seems to be a small library, too - maybe
you could add some of the functions
you provide in the examples as library
functions? (Maybe once URL makes it
into Boost).

Vinnie or Richard may provide some more
insights as they're more experienced
Asio users.

Ruben.
