If I do an asio::async_read followed by an async_shutdown on the stream, the read operation will complete with stream_truncated error (as expected) but the async_shutdown operation never completes (i.e. handler never gets called). See a minimal reproduce below. Environment: Debian stretch, gcc 6.3.0, Boost 1.67, BoringSSL. My questions: 1. Is it allowed to call async_shutdown on an ssl::stream when there is an async_read pending? 2. If yes, is the above behavior expected? 3. If not, how do I gracefully shutdown an SSL stream when an async_read is pending? And is this restriction documented anywhere?
