Thank you, Mathias, for replying.

I figured it out. The server finished sending all data and shut down its TCP
endpoint, for which the last async_read() call threw an exception (of
ESHUTDOWN), which aborted my logic flow.

I was thrilled that it finally worked. I was also able to get a synchronous
version to work. Use read() instead of async_read(), and also an
asio::streambuf to collect everything in the response in one read() call.

Cheers,
Greg
