I have a boost client that needs to support connections through a proxy.
Currently I am able to connect to the proxy and successfully communicate with external servers with one exception - ssl servers.
The proxy is http and I need to connect/retreive information from https sites.
What my code does now connect to proxy asio::ip::tcp::socket _socket; -succeeds send CONNECT host: ssl server to the proxy (connected above) -succeeds
-- This is where I am stuck. How do I execute the handshake/send requests?
I found this old post
boost::asio handshake through http proxy?
The problem is: sslsocket_(socket_,context) //this does not compile (the constructor is expecting an io_Service not a socket) --using boost 1.52
Ok below is the code
//Parse the header and check the response
boost::asio::ssl::stream<boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket> _socket;
boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket _httpSocket;
...
int response= _httpHeader.getResult(header.c_str());
if(response==200) {
boost::asio::ssl::context ctx(io_service,boost::asio::ssl::context::sslv23);
_sslSocket(_httpSocket,ctx); //this fails
Note:I copied the above from the post above,based on the post this part worked. It looks to me it should be _sslSocekt(io_service,ctx) but I don't see how that would help me }
