Issue

Motivation

  1. I want to use body of POST request for something and it looks like with current implementation I will have to manually implement parsing of the body. While I'll probably won't share in public this feature I am going to work on, at the same time this change looks as something useful for other people.
  2. Boost.Beast feels more well-tested and reliable rather than our custom HTTP parsing.

The HTTP server is effectively just the Boost.Asio demo code, so assuming Boost.Beast plays well with it (which I think it does), then I agree that it makes sense to use request parsing code that is actively maintained.

With regards to POST requests, this has been discussed a few times in the past, #4211 is probably the best summary.
I think it boiled down to the fact that the HTTP server is aforementioned demo code, so it would be advisable to bind a production-grade HTTP server to libosrm or use the Node bindings, instead of hacking on the demo code. It is the most popular requested feature though.

But if it's for your own purposes, then none of this matters too much 🙂 .

So speaking other words you want to say that migration to some “adult” HTTP server will give more value to the project than this PR?

If so can you recommend what can be used? As I can see what @daniel-j-h used in https://github.com/daniel-j-h/libosrm-http-casablanca is in maintenance mode.

It would, but small improvements like this are also useful. Was just giving you the full context on why there is no POST support.

Do you think this PR should be merged then?
