Hello,

I have been successfully using ASIO for a long time, but recently I try 
to use SSL over SOCKS 4 and I'm struggling with short read while 
asynchronous SSL handshaking. I have come across this: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9943541/boost-asio-how-to-read-write-on-a-ssl-socket-that-doesnt-use-ssl?rq=1][1], 
but it's only partially helpful. I haven't find any good explanation, 
what the layers really are (ex. I can't assign next_layer and 
lowest_layer to any of OSI layers). Could someone explain the meaning of 
next_layer and lowest_layer and how to use SSL stream with SOCKS 4 proxy.

Best regards,
Maciej Miszczak
