Looks very good indeed, thanks Andre. It's under a boost license. I note that they keep some stuff proprietry though e.g. Net_SSL. I was thumbing through my copy of the C++ cookbook just yesterday and thinking how different it was from the other cookbooks; the C++ one implements almost no application level stuff; it's less of a cookbook and more of an C++ "advice by example" book. This POCO library is what the cookbook should have been! Matt _______________________________________________ coders mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/coders
