IIUC, the read-write mutex in the current thread lib is broken. The reason
it hasn't been fixed is probably because the thread developers have been
working on a rewrite of the code base. When that's done, I believe there
will be a read-write mutex (here's an old but relevant post:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.threads.devel/58)

Also, ... are there some kind of URL / socket lib in boost ?

Check out Boost.Asio. That's what you're looking for. (It won't be in boost
1.34, but it has been accepted)
