Comment (by helge@…):

 Although Asio has "asynchronous" in its name it is extremely useful for
 synchronous use, too. Writing solid networking code is not trivial and
 Asio simplifies the process a great deal - reducing both time and
 probability of error.

 For that reason I second the request for timeout parameters for the
 synchronous functions.
