An object of this type is used to serialize a complete HTTP message into a sequence of octets. To use this class, construct an instance with the message to be serialized. The implementation will automatically perform chunk encoding if the contents of the message indicate that chunk encoding is required.

Chunked output produced by the serializer never contains chunk extensions or trailers, and the location of chunk boundaries is not specified. If callers require chunk extensions, trailers, or control over the exact contents of each chunk they should use the serializer to write just the message header, and then assume control over serializing the chunked payload by using the chunk buffer sequence types http::chunk_body, http::chunk_crlf, http::chunk_header, and http::chunk_last.

Template Parameters

Type

Description

isRequest

true if the message is a request.
