I saw an example where boost serialized a text archive to a strstream for sending via a socket.  I would like to do something similar, but for binary data.

Is there a way to do the binary serialization to a memory buffer, and then send it elsewhere?   It doesnt seem like strstream and boost::archive::binary_oarchive would mix correctly.
I have also seen some discussion regarding a binary_iostreams library, but its doesnt look like that exists yet.

thanks
