Basically the beginning would change to with the interface proposed by the
socket library proposal in the sandbox by Hugo and me.

   address_info_list list("www.google.com", "http");
   address_info_list::iterator ibegin=list.begin(), iend=list.end();

std::cout << std::distance(ibegin,iend) << " addresses found\n";

if (ibegin == iend)
{
std::cout << "No address found" << std::endl;
return -1;
}

connector<> connector;
connector<>::data_connection_t connection;

connector.connect(connection, ibegin->protocol(),
ibegin->address());
basic_socket_stream sock(connection);

... the rest unchanged...

The design is based around the overall requirements in

ocketRequirements
originally written by Beman Dawes. The design is layered so you it can
enable complex uses for both servers and clients as well as simple uses as
the one you sketch.

And more than that, there is a recent implementation based on the
Wiki web pages in the boost-sandbox.  Sockets is a library that 
has had a number of false starts.  Hugo Duncan has been
the key driver of this new effort, but I know he would love to
have help. I believe we have gradually built enough
base that if we could find a few volunteers with a some 
time to invest we could finally get a kernal of the library
available for review.

You can browse the boost sandbox socket stuff at:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/boost-sandbox/boost-
sandbox/libs/socket/

or find out more about download access to the sandbox from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost-sandbox/

Anyway, download it, compile it, update the Wiki -- give us
feedback...

Jeff

Ah!

Yes, that looks more promising.

Thanks for the redirect!

I'm quite the lurker too 

Sockets seems to be actively under development at the moment.  Most of
the activity seems to be on the Wiki at the moment though:  

http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?BoostSocket

I'm also lurking there.  Hoping to find time to get involved, but
there's never enough hours in the day :¬ (
