I ported a legacy project from linux to windows, and continued to use ASIO (i.e., wrote new code) by inertia since the project already used it. Worst decision ever. If I could start from scratch, I'd just use raw Win32 APIs. And I agree on HTTP(S). It has become an overcomplicated transport protocol on top of another transport protocol (TCP) and the only (though relevant) problem it solves is that it's allowed through most firewalls by default.
