Your response is 200 OK, but you aren't setting Content-Length: 0.
Under HTTP rules this means that the end of the body is indicated by
an end of file. The documentation for need_eof explains this:

<https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_74_0/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/ref/boost__beast__http__message/need_eof.html>

See: "* has_content_length would return true."

For your message, has_content_length() would return false (since you
aren't setting it). Try adding:

    res.content_length( 0 );

or

    res.prepare_payload();

Thanks
