[Boost.Asio] Allow/DisAllow client connection to Serveur.
by Gadamatik 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Hello to all, I'm trying to develop a serveur that will allow/disallow a client to access internet according a ticket provided to him, just a kind of Raduis. Because Boost.Asio deal with OS, so I just want the client get access to internet if, only if he has a ticket that my server will provide him. I'm looking the way to do this but i'm really stick at this point. I'll really appreciate your strong help to find a way, just a way. I'm working on Windows. Thanks in advance. ----- La patience guide mes raisons -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Users-f2553780.html

Regarding certificate verification using Asio
by David Demelier 05 Nov '18

05 Nov '18

Hello, This is more a general question about certificates verification in SSL contexts. I hope this is not too much offtopic. I know how asymmetric encryption works, but I never dig a lot into the process of certificates verification. I know how certificate checks are made with browsers, the server must have a certificate signed by a trusted CA. But then, I must admit that I don't know many more. For example, A lot of Linux package managers use package signing to be sure that packages downloaded are correctly built from the vendor. But this is another topic I guess. Now, for example, I would like to create my own server process and my own client. They are not open to the internet, so no need to buy trusted authority certificates. So by generating self-signed certificate and private key file. The server can run. The question is: how the client be sure that it is connecting to the right server? Do this client needs to have the same certificate on its local machine and use it? If yes, should I use ssl::context::load_verify_file and ssl::verify_peer and I'm done? If you have some resources to advice me on the certificate check mechanisms, please give me. Regards -- David

Compile Boost 1.64 on ARM64
by Lior Koskas 04 Nov '18

04 Nov '18

Hello, I'm trying to compile boost on my 64 ARM machine. In order to compile I ran this command ./bootstrap.sh && ./b2. When I'm looking at the output of the b2 program, I noticed that it does not recognize my machine as ARM architecture: Performing configuration checks - 32-bit : no (cached) - 64-bit : yes (cached) - arm : no (cached) - mips1 : no (cached) - power : no (cached) - sparc : no (cached) - x86 : yes (cached) How can I enforce boost to compile as ARM64 architecture? Thank you, -- Lior

Missing boost/test/utils/trivial_singleton.hpp header
by Martin Beseda 04 Nov '18

04 Nov '18

Hello everybody, I'm beginning with the Boost.Test library and I wanted to use it together with Turtle Mock library <http://turtle.sourceforge.net/>, as it claims to be developed specifically for usage with Boost. The problem is, I'm getting the error, that boost/test/utils/trivial_singleton.hpp is missing. I'm using other Boost headers with no problem, so I had a look at the codes and it seems, that trivial_singleton.hpp header is not there. Also, I couldn't find him in the online repository. Was the header relocated or removed? Thank you very much for the information, Martin

Web based C++ compiler with Boost support
by Michael Powell 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

Hello, Does anyone happen to know of a decent web based C++ compiler with Boost support? Specifics, if possibly, include support for MSVC, especially VS2017 C++, Spirit, probably C++17 as well, etc. I know that's probably asking for a lot, but my searches aren't turning up very much, or it is getting confused with literally "building Boost", which is a bit OT. :-) Thanks! Best regards, Michael Powell
