boost::asio send get request after ssl connection

Question

I'm using boost::asio and I've been looking at the example code on how to connect to an ssl host. But I want to send a get request after I've connected to the server through ssl, how is this possible? Do I send a get request as the http example do exactly?

Answer 1

After the handshake is done (handle_handshake in the example) and there was no errors, you should be able to use the connection just as any other Boost ASIO connection.
