Answer 3

NEW! Answer to an old question: Now there's Beast, which offers both HTTP and WebSocket: https://github.com/vinniefalco/Beast Here's a working program using the library:

#include <beast/http.hpp>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    // Normal boost::asio setup
    std::string const host = "boost.org";
    boost::asio::io_service ios;
    boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver r(ios);
    boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket sock(ios);
    boost::asio::connect(sock,
        r.resolve(boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver::query{host, "http"}));

    using namespace beast::http;

    // Send HTTP request using beast
    request<empty_body> req({method_t::http_get, "/", 11});
    req.headers.replace("Host", host + ":" + std::to_string(sock.remote_endpoint().port()));
    req.headers.replace("User-Agent", "Beast");
    write(sock, req);

    // Receive and print HTTP response using beast
    beast::streambuf sb;
    response<streambuf_body> resp;
    read(sock, sb, resp);
    std::cout << resp;
}

The documentation was recently updated too: http://vinniefalco.github.io/beast/index.html

Answer 4

Yield a high performance server framework, IIRC SOAP is supported.
