Comment (by Dentcho Bankov <dbankov@…>):

 We hit this problem again now that we moved to BOOST 1.61. At the time I
 filed this ticket I suspected that the correct fix could be to provide the
 bytes_transmitted value in the exception but weren't happy with this
 because we'd have to handle a standard use case through an exception.
 Using the error_code overload seems to be a good enough way to avoid
 throwing an exception in a normal use case so I'd agree this is an
 acceptable solution. Still #10034 is not fixed so I'll try to provide a
 fix for it.
