 As found at http://www.rsdn.ru/forum/cpp.applied/3517122.aspx, in russian:

 {{{
 boost::asio::async_read_until(socket_, response_, "\r\n",
           boost::bind(&client::handle_read_status_line, this,
             boost::asio::placeholders::error));
 }}}

 What if the server won't ever return "\r\n" - will response_ grow up to
 all available RAM?
