Honestly.  The OP stated what OS he/she was on, I recommended THAT OS' 
newsgroup.  What's wrong with that?  Tell me.  Why should he/she care 
about any other OS or platform?  There was NO request for portability.

I don't agree.  It's like saying that if you need a legal problem 
addressed, a golf newsgroup would be a better place to ask because there 
are many of them there.  Bullshit.

For "accessing to web service"?  Boost?  On *all* OSes?  Really?  *All* 
of them?  Really?  Which part of Boost does that?  Let's go, post the 
damn link already!
