Deciding on whether to send the "Expect: 100-continue" header or how to handle it on the server side is the caller's responsibility; Beast provides the functionality to send or inspect the header before sending or reading the body.

The design goal for the library is to not try to invent a web server. We feel that there is a strong need for a basic implementation that models the HTTP message and provides functions to send and receive them over Asio. Such an implementation should serve as a building block upon which higher abstractions such as the aforementioned HTTP service or cgi-gateway can be built.

There are several HTTP servers in the example directory which deliver files, as well as some tested and compiled code snippets which can be used as a starting point for interfacing with other processes.

在示例目录中，存在多个用于提供文件服务的 HTTP 服务器，以及部分经过测试和编译的代码片段，这些内容可作为与其他进程进行交互的起点。

Beast works with the Stream concept, so it automatically works with the `boost::asio::ssl::stream` that you have already set up through Asio.

Cookies, or managing these types of HTTP headers in general, is the responsibility of higher levels. Beast just tries to get complete messages to and from the calling code. It deals in the HTTP headers just enough to process the message body and leaves the rest to callers. However, for forms and file uploads the symmetric interface of the message class allows HTTP requests to include arbitrary body types including those needed to upload a file or fill out a form.

We presume this means a facility to match expressions against the URI in HTTP requests, and dispatch them to calling code. The authors feel that this is a responsibility of higher level code. Beast does not try to offer a web server. That said, the server-framework example has a concept of request routing called a Service. Two services are provided, one for serving files and the other for handling WebSocket upgrade requests.

The server-framework example demonstrates how to implement a server that supports TLS using certificates. There are also websocket and HTTP client examples which use TLS. Furthermore, management of certificates is beyond the scope of the public interfaces of the library. Asio already provides documentation, interfaces, and examples for performing these tasks - Beast does not intend to reinvent them or to redundantly provide this information.

The name "Boost.Http" or "Boost.WebSocket" would mislead users into believing they could perform an HTTP request on a URL or put up a WebSocket client or server in a couple of lines of code. Where would the core utilities go? Very likely it would step on the owner of Boost.Asio's toes to put things in the boost/asio directory; at the very least, it would create unrequested, additional work for the foreign repository.

"Beast" is sufficiently vague as to not suggest any particular functionality, while acting as a memorable umbrella term for a family of low level containers and algorithms. People in the know or with a need for low-level network protocol operations will have no trouble finding it, and the chances of luring a novice into a bad experience are greatly reduced. There is precedent for proper names: "Hana", "Fusion", "Phoenix", and "Spirit" come to mind. Is "Beast" really any worse than say, "mp11" for example? Beast also already has a growing body of users and attention from the open source community, the name Beast comes up in reddit posts and StackOverflow as the answer to questions about which HTTP or WebSocket library to use.

The energy invested in Beast went into the design of the interfaces, not performance. That said, the most sensitive parts of Beast have been optimized or designed with optimization in mind. The slow parts of WebSocket processing have been optimized, and the HTTP parser design is lifted from another extremely popular project which has performance as a design goal (see [@https://github.com/h2o/picohttpparser]).

From: [@http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html]

"Aim first for clarity and correctness; optimization should be only a secondary concern in most Boost libraries."

As the library matures it will undergo optimization passes; benchmarks will logically accompany this process. There is a small benchmarking program included in the tests which compares the performance of Beast's parser to the NodeJS reference parser, as well as some benchmarks which compare the performance of various Beast dynamic buffer implementations against Asio's.

Beast uses more than Boost.Asio, it depends on various other parts of Boost. The standalone Asio is currently farther ahead than the Boost version. Keeping Beast maintained against both versions of Asio is beyond the resources of the author at the present time. Compatibility with non-Boost libraries should not be an acceptance criteria. Beast is currently designed to be a part of Boost: nothing more, nothing less. Looking at the bigger picture, it is the author's goal to propose this library for standardization. A logical track for achieving this is as follows:

[ordered_list [ Boost library acceptance. ][ Port to the Boost.Asio version of Networking-TS (This has to wait until Boost's version of Asio is updated). ][ Wait for Networking-TS to become an official part of C++. ][ Port to the standard library versions of networking (gcc, clang, msvc). ][ Develop proposed language (This can happen concurrently with steps 3 and 4) ]]

A logical track for achieving this is as follows:不仅依赖 Boost.Asio，还依赖 Boost 的其他组件。目前 standalone Asio 的版本领先于 Boost 中的版本。作者当前没有足够的资源来同时维护 Beast 对这两个 Asio 版本的兼容性。与非 Boost 库的兼容性不应作为接纳标准。Beast 的设计定位就是作为 Boost 的一部分，仅此而已。从宏观角度来看，作者的目标是推动该库走向标准化。实现这一目标的合理路径如下：

[ordered_list [ 被接纳为 Boost library acceptance. ][ Port to the库。][ 移植到 Boost.Asio version of版本的 Networking-TS (This has to wait until Boost's version of Asio is updated). ][ Wait for Networking-TS to become an official part of C++. ][ Port to the standard library versions of（这需等待 Boost 中的 Asio 版本更新）。][ 等待 Networking-TS 成为 C++ 的正式组成部分。][ 移植到标准库版本的 networking (gcc, （gcc、clang, 、msvc). ][ Develop proposed language (This can happen concurrently with steps 3 and 4) ）。][ 开发提议的语言特性（此步骤可与第 3、4 步并行推进）]]
