Hi,

I'm developing a HTTP server with cpp-netlib (0.10.1) and for the means to support Digest authentication i need to have std::wstring support (since usernames and passwords could contain non ASCII characters and those then would be present in the Digest headers. I saw that the existing server type tags all have default_string in them, but i managed to create a new one that has default_wstring in it, so far so good - but I'm getting compilation errors for the server_options type, since it uses the string type from the server tag, but has ASCII strings as initializers - well I thought i could avoid that one with just adding L" prefix to the default values since I'll be using only std::wstring version. But then the underlying boost ASIO part starts to fall since it's suing std::string to pass endpoint names etc., which of course makes sense.

So since i don't really understand the std::wstring support status, I'm not sure if this is an actual bug, but if it is, is trunk version already supporting std::wstring or is there any way I can tackle this? Does the options struct really need the string type from the Tag? Maybe i can fix that and live without it?

So at the moment, I'm down at the point where Boost ASIO fails with:

async_server.hpp(115) : error C2664: 'boost::asio::ip::basic_resolver_query::basic_resolver_query(const std::string &,boost::asio::ip::resolver_query_base::flags)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>' to 'const std::string &'

1> [
1> _Elem=wchar_t,

1> _Ax=std::allocator<wchar_t>
1> ]

And I'm not sure what approach to use. Many thanks.
