#8709: make endpoint address available as byte string
-----------------------------------+----------------------------
 Reporter:  Pierre Abbat <phma@…>  |      Owner:  chris_kohlhoff
     Type:  Feature Requests       |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined       |  Component:  asio
  Version:  Boost 1.46.1           |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  endpoint address byte  |
-----------------------------------+----------------------------
 I'm developing a program that will send a list of IP addresses to another
 copy of the program. It appears that the only way to get the address out
 of an endpoint is to get it as a character string, then parse the
 character string. I'd like to use a method which makes the address
 available as a 4-byte or 16-byte string, and another which takes such a
 string and sets the address to it.
