Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  asio          
  Version:  Boost 1.52.0      |    Severity:  Problem       
 Keywords:                    |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 compiling the attached testasiossl.cpp program, you get an error message
 complaining that it is not possible to convert 'mutable_buffers_1' to
 'const_buffers_1' in a call to async_write_some, called from write_op. (
 see the attached files for the full compiler output )


 The reason write_op tries to pass a mutable buffer instead of a const
 buffer, is that it obtains the buffer by calling 'get_output'.  which
 returns a mutable buffer.   ( in boost/asio/ssl/detail/impl/engine.ipp )

 shouldn't get_output  return a const buffer sequence?

 note that in the test program i explicitly defined the types for the
 buffers, instead of making them a templated argument.
