Remove SSL From Boost Upload
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
I have a compact C++ tool built on boost::asio that currently wraps every outbound connection in an SSL stream. I need that SSL layer completely removed so the program uploads plain-text files over an unencrypted TCP socket. Everything else—the host, port, packet framing, callbacks, and retry logic—should remain exactly as it is.
There is no replacement encryption; the transfer must be clear-text. We also do not require any additional validation or checksums beyond what the operating system provides.
Turn-around time is critical: I need the updated code back within 24 hours.
Deliverables
• A clean patch or revised source files showing SSL removed and replaced with standard boost::asio socket calls
• Brief build instructions confirming the code compiles against the current Boost (1.82) on Linux and Windows
• A short README or inline comments pointing out every change you made
I will mark the job complete once the program compiles, connects without an SSL handshake, and uploads a text file successfully to my staging server.
