[boost] Clean disconnect with asio socket library

Hello,

i'm using boost 1.34 with the asio c++ library extension for socket communication. At the moment i have following problem.

- i open a client class with usage of io service and a connection manager according to the examples 

TcpClient* client = new TcpClient(ioServiceClient, string(regServer->host), 
Utilities::intToString(regServer->port), connectionManager, *this);

- after connected to a server i send some messages via 

asio::async_write(socket_, buffer, boost::bind(&TcpConnection::handle_write, shared_from_this(), asio::placeholders::error));

- the connection itself listen to incoming messages via

asio::async_read(socket_, asio::buffer(inbound_header_), boost::bind(&TcpConnection::handle_read_header, shared_from_this(), asio::placeholders::error));

So what i have to do is
- open connection
- send some messages
- disconnect

The disconnect is done

ioServiceClient.post(boost::bind(&ConnectionManager::stop_all, &connectionManager));

So what is my problem: 

I need to close the connection after sending the last message. At a certain message length the disconnect happens before the message was send completely.

That's why i thought putting the disconnect via post to the io service will handle this. But this is not the case.

How can i make a clean disconnect when all outstanding messages were send completely?? 

Thanks for your answers.

Bye Bert
