Copy a streambuf's contents to a string

Question

Apparently boost::asio::async_read doesn\'t like strings, as the only overload of boost::asio::buffer allows me to create const_buffer

Answer 1

I tested the first answer and got a compiler error when compiling using "g++ -std=c++11" What worked for me was:

        #include 
        #include 
        #include            
        //other code ...
        boost::asio::streambuf response;
        //more code
        std::ostringstream sline;
        sline << &response; //need '&' or you a compiler error
        std::string line = sline.str(); 

This compiled and ran.
