#### Incremental Read 💡

This function uses `buffer_body` and parser stream operations to read a message body progressively using a small, fixed-size buffer:

    /*  This function reads a message using a fixed size buffer to hold
        portions of the body, and prints the body contents to a `std::ostream`.
    */
    template<
        bool isRequest,
        class SyncReadStream,
        class DynamicBuffer>
    void
    read_and_print_body(
        std::ostream& os,
        SyncReadStream& stream,
        DynamicBuffer& buffer,
        error_code& ec)
    {
        parser<isRequest, buffer_body> p;
        read_header(stream, buffer, p, ec);
        if(ec)
            return;
        while(! p.is_done())
        {
            char buf[512];
            p.get().body().data = buf;
            p.get().body().size = sizeof(buf);
            read(stream, buffer, p, ec);
            if(ec == error::need_buffer)
                ec = {};
            if(ec)
                return;
            os.write(buf, sizeof(buf) - p.get().body().size);
        }
    }
