Re: [Boost-users] [asio]: Having trouble getting started with ssl

sslTest.cpp:13: error: invalid initialization of reference of type 'boost::asio::basic_stream_socket<boost::asio::ip::tcp, boost::asio::stream_socket_service<boost::asio::ip::tcp> >&' from expression of type 'boost::asio::basic_socket<boost::asio::ip::tcp, boost::asio::stream_socket_service<boost::asio::ip::tcp> >'

The message is pretty clear, but I have no idea yet how to fix the problem.

<...>

ip::tcp::socket& sock = sslSock.lowest_layer();

lowest_layer() returns a reference to the base type of ip::tcp::socket. So you can either declare such a reference: ssl::stream::lowest_layer_type &sock = ....; ...or (if need some members specific to tcp::socket) static_cast to the desired type.
