Sneak Peak
37+
==========
38+
39+
The :mod:`cpp-netlib` allows you to write semantically consistent code for
40+
making different kinds of higher level network applications.
41+
42+
The library allows for writing simple code like:
43+
44+
.. code-block:: c++
45+
46+
using namespace boost::network;
47+
using namespace boost::network::http;
48+
49+
client::request request_("http://www.boost.org/");
50+
request_ << header("Connection", "close");
51+
client client_;
52+
client::response response_ = client_.get(request);
53+
std::string body = body(response_);
54+
55+
For simple C++ HTTP client applications.
56+
57+
The :mod:`cpp-netlib` is being developed for eventual submission to Boost_.
