When a server certificate is issued by an intermediate certificate authority, and the client lacks those intermediate certificates, the server should provide all the relevant certificates to the client. This allows the client to verify the final certificate in the chain against the root certificate.

A Server Certificate is a digital certificate that confirms a server's identity as the legitimate destination for a client. It contains a verifiable signature that ensures it was issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA).

A client must also verify that the hostname or IP address in the certificate matches the expected one. The [@boost:/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/ssl__host_name_verification.html `net::ssl::host_name_verification`] helper function object can perform this verification according to the rules described in RFC 6125:

A Certificate Authority (CA) is a trusted entity that signs digital certificates, enabling users to verify their authenticity. Rather than storing every individual certificate for each server (which would be impractical due to the sheer volume and frequent renewals), users can store a limited set of root certificates to authenticate server certificates as needed.

To enable these use-cases, the body type __buffer_body__ is provided. This body uses a caller-provided pointer and size instead of an owned container. To use this body, instantiate an instance of the serializer and fill in the pointer and size fields before calling a stream write function.

Sometimes it is necessary to send a message whose body is not conveniently described by a single container. For example, when implementing an HTTP relay function a robust implementation needs to present body buffers individually as they become available from the downstream host. These buffers should be fixed in size, otherwise creating the unnecessary and inefficient burden of reading the complete message body before forwarding it to the upstream host.

The example that follows implements a synchronous HTTP relay. It uses a fixed size buffer, to avoid reading in the entire body so that the upstream connection sees a header without unnecessary latency. This example brings together all of the concepts discussed so far, it uses both a __serializer__ and a __parser__ to achieve its goal:

An HTTP proxy acts as a relay between client and server. The proxy reads a request from the client and sends it to the server, possibly adjusting some of the headers and representation of the body along the way. Then, the proxy reads a response from the server and sends it back to the client, also with the possibility of changing the headers and body representation.
