Hi, thanks for nice sample, but this doesn't compile (with Boost 1.54): in function handle_accept(), in the line
std::cout << "Connection from: " << con_handle->remote_endpoint( ).address( ).to_string( ) << "\n";
error: ‘struct Connection’ has no member named ‘remote_endpoint’

Any idea ?

change with
con_handle->socket.remote_endpoint().address()
