Hey, I've been slammed in production land. I'll check this out.

In related news, there is now a SSL branch on Cinder-Asio:

I need to wrap up certificate verification, work out the best way to include OpenSSL, and write a server sample before merging into master. Implementing this layer into the block means adding WebSockets to the Cinder-Protocol block isn't far off. It would be nice to have a more-controlled option that isn't the heavy, tangled dependency that is WebSocketPP. I just wrapped up a project which uses the SSL features. Works like a champ. :)
