Application: get the host header, get the request uri, concatenate both and
send as reply.

Tested using weighttp -n 20000 -c 1000 -k http://localhost:8080/

You can see that performance of Boost.Http versus Pion was roughly the
same, but Boost.Http created no extra threads. If I used one extra thread,
I think I could see a speedup. Also, notice that the pion example didn't
log any output to the standard output, while the Boost.Http is printing
everything that happens.

There is also the POCO test. I'd say the performance is promising.
