Yes it is possible:

std::string s =
    "POST /cgi/message.php HTTP/1.1\r\n"
    "Content-Length: 5\r\n"
    "\r\n"
    "abcde";
error_code ec;
request_parser<string_body> p;
p.put(boost::asio::buffer(s), ec);

```bad method``` is written to the ```error_code``` in your example. (boost 1.68) – Marat Gareev Oct 02 '18 at 14:48

Whoops, sorry about that! The string contained an HTTP response instead of a request. I have updated the code sample. – Vinnie Falco Oct 03 '18 at 12:28
