Comment (by Ramon Casellas <ramon.casellas@…>):

 Confirmed also in boost trunk as of 20130801 (1.55) linux ubuntu saucy 64
 bits. A regression that is causing services that are supposed to reconnect
 on failure to proceed.

 Quite easy to reproduce using the async_client in the examples without any
 listening http server. Add a debug trace (should get connection refused):
 {{{
 root_at_pookie:/tmp# g++ -c -o client.o client.cpp
 root_at_pookie:/tmp# g++ -o client client.o -lboost_system -lboost_thread
 -lpthread
 root_at_pookie:/tmp# ./client localhost /index.html
 handle_connect Error: system:0
 Error: Broken pipe
 }}}
 Thanks
 R.
