SIGSEGV in http_client during SSL handshake with http_server

[beginjd]

I am using the development branch to write a REST server, because I need SSL. I am running under RHEL 7.1. Writing tests using the BOOST test framework, I am able to create a client that successfully connects to google and others using SSL. When trying to connect to my REST server, I get a SIGSEGV (see attached). Note that I can sucessfully execute SSL requests to the server using SOAPUI. I am using BOOST 1.58. The problem seems to be with some Boost inline code in error_code.hpp, which is invoked in http_client_asio.cpp/report_error(). Basically, to get the error handled without a SIGSEGV, I had to change:
ec == boost::system::errc::operation_canceled
to
ec.value() == boost::system::errc::operation_canceled

I changed all similar comparisons in report_error(). Now I get a nice std::exception and an "Error in SSL handshake" explanation string. Next is finding out why I can't connect, but that's an issue for another day...

Note: This happened when connecting to a server using test certificate and key. I was also missing
client_config.set_validate_certificates(false);
Once I added the line above, the error (the SIGSEGV) doesn't occur, probably because there is no error checking... So when it works, it works. It only fails when it fails ;)

+1 on Mac - SIGSEGV when the host is unreachable but only when the library is built as static. The fix above was the solution.
