OK, this is ambarassing... The timeout was right there in the server's code.
Once removed, everything's fine of course. Sorry for the noise. --DD

    void do_read() {
        // Make the request empty before reading,
        // otherwise the operation behavior is undefined.
        req_ = {};

        // Set the timeout.
        //stream_.expires_after(std::chrono::seconds(5));

        // Read a request
        http::async_read(
            stream_, buffer_, req_,
            beast::bind_front_handler(
                &session::on_read,
                shared_from_this()
            )
        );
    }
