I’m running boost 1_74 and have found some behavior that is not described in the docs. With a call like:

http::async_read(*socket, data, request, read_handler);

where request is a boost::beast::http::request<boost::beast::http::string_body>, I’ve noted that the target string will always be empty when a malformed HTTP request is read.

Can this behavior be relied upon in the read_handler?
