[Boost-users] [serialization]-- serialize binary data to a memory buffer?

I saw an example where boost serialized a text archive to a strstream for
sending via a socket.  I would like to do something similar, but for binary
data.

Is there a way to do the binary serialization to a memory buffer, and then
send it elsewhere?   It doesnt seem like strstream and
boost::archive::binary_oarchive would mix correctly.
I have also seen some discussion regarding a binary_iostreams library, but
its doesnt look like that exists yet.

thanks
