--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 If you have a numeric port number (such as in my case, the response from
 an FTP server's PASV command), you have to convert it to a string before
 passing it to ip::basic_resolver_query.  This seems inefficient, so it
 would be nice if an overload could be added which would take an unsigned
 short port number, and assume
 boost::asio::ip::resolver_query_base::numeric_service has been specified.

 Currently, it must be done like this:

 {{{
 unsigned short port = 12345;
 std::stringstream ss;
 ss << port;
 boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver::query query(host, ss.str(),
 boost::asio::ip::resolver_query_base::numeric_service);
 }}}
