Glad to see you here Vinícius! I see you've been busy working on your
repositories (I check on them from time to time) - that's great!

Using templated iterators (I think that's the direction you're
implying) offers flexibility. But there are advantages when using a
raw pointer to a contiguous piece of memory holding the entire HTTP
header or other structured element (chunk-header, final-chunk). Such
as using SSE4.2 intrinsics to accelerate the parsing:

Can you please list the low-level control features or maybe link to
the corresponding boost-dev posts which describe the desired low-level
control? I thought I addressed them but I'd like to be sure

Thanks
