    <p>So working off of the <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/doc/html/boost_asio/examples.html">boost HTTP Server 3 example</a>, I want to modify connection::handle_read to support sending a body along with the message. However, the method for doing this is not apparent to me. I want to write something like:</p> <pre><code>void connection::handle_read(const boost::system::error_code&amp; e, std::size_t bytes_transferred) { ... if (result) { boost::asio::async_write(socket_, reply.to_buffers(), strand_.wrap( boost::bind(&amp;connection::write_body, shared_from_this(), boost::asio::placeholders::error))); } } void connection::write_body(const boost::system::error_code&amp; e) { boost::asio::async_write(socket_, body_stream_, strand_.wrap( boost::bind(&amp;connection::handle_write, shared_from_this(), boost::asio::placeholders::error))); } </code></pre> <p>where <code>body_stream_</code> is an <code>asio::windows::stream_handle</code>. </p> <p>But this approach doesn't handle the http chunking at all (all that means is the size of the chunk is sent before each chunk). What is the best way to approach this problem? Do I write my own wrapper for an ifstream that adheres to the requiresments of a <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/ConstBufferSequence.html">boost const buffer</a>? Or try to simulate the effect of <code>async_write</code> with multiple calls to <code>async_write_some</code> in a loop? I should mention a requirement of the solution is that I never have the entire file in memory at any given time - only one or a few chunks. </p> <p>Very new to ASIO and sockets, any advice is appreciated!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
