Yes, right.
Well, if you're speaking of "http server 3" specifically, you have to
change its design a bit. Eg., you can add to the server class
something like vector<weak_ptr<connection> > connections_ member, and
push there every new_connectio_ -- to get an ability of managing
connections. Of course, you have to garbage-collect expired weak-ptrs
sometimes, eg. when a new connection is added or on some other
event...
