Boost network not in standard boost install

Question

Have recently become a great boost fan !!

But sometime components seem to be hidden.

eg I see example code on this site with:

#include <boost/network/uri.hpp>

etc

But my 1.55 boost install does not have a network folder. What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance for any help

Good question. You might want to [ask their developers](http://cpp-netlib.org/0.11.1/getting_started.html#reporting-issues-getting-support). — Steve, Jul 30 '15 at 17:52

You are missing the fact that cpp-netlib is not an accepted Boost C++ Library (current Boost C++ Libraries). And further it's not even in the review schedule. So it's not going to be a Boost C++ Library for some time.

For those who may come down the same path ...

boost/network is not part of the standard boost release. It is a candidate which may at some time become part of the boost distribution.

Sources/Docs etc for boost/network can be found at: http://cpp-netlib.org/
