2017-07-13  Kirit Saelensminde  <kirit@felspar.com>
 The conversion of HTTP request file paths to strings now works for a wider range of inputs. The conversion to `boost::filesystem:;wpath` is problematic with Boost versions prior to 1.64 due to the way they use codecvt.

2015-04-30  Kirit Saelensminde  <kirit@felspar.com>
 Changed the way that Boost ASIO IO services are used so that server accept sockets can be serviced totally independantly. This is an ugly workaround for the problem, but does at least cause all requests to be properly serviced.
 Revert the change from 2015-04-24

2015-04-24  Kirit Saelensminde  <kirit@felspar.com>
 Make sure that a server io_service is properly associated with the connection. This also changes client sockets to all share a single io_service.

 Added ampersand to allowed characters in the file path of a HTTP request on the server.

2014-05-22  Kirit Saelensminde  <kirit@felspar.com>
 Change expected exceptions for some tests because some platforms (i.e. Ubuntu Trusty) don't give socket connect errors, only time out errors when data is sent.

2014-05-19  Kirit Saelensminde  <kirit@felspar.com>
 Change the way that `boost::filesystem::wpath` instances are converted from strings in order to fix a Boost bug on Android.

2014-05-14  Kirit Saelensminde  <kirit@felspar.com>
 No longer throw `not_implemented` exceptions from the low level networking code.

2014-02-23  Kirit Saelensminde  <kirit@felspar.com>
 The MIME header names and values need to be retrievable in a case-insensitive manner as not everybody agrees on the correct case.

2014-02-22  Kirit Saelensminde  <kirit@felspar.com>
 Folding of long lines in MIME headers needs to be conditional on the protocol because most MIME protocols use it, but HTTP does not and some web servers don't handle folded lines.

2012-11-09  Kirit Saelensminde  <kirit@felspar.com>
 Allow the SMTP port to be set on the SMTP client and the tests.

2012-08-08  Kirit Saelensminde  <kirit@felspar.com>

2011-07-30  Kirit Saelensminde  <kirit@felspar.com>

   supported by the request.
 - Changed the type of the server request query string to match that of the

   as possible.

2010-03-26  Kirit Saelensminde  <kirit@felspar.com>
 fget example
 - Now supports the use of FOST authentication through the -authentication,
   -key and -secret command line switches. There's also a -user switch to
