   Looks like try_join_for was introduced in Boost 1.50: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_50_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#thread.thread_management.thread.try_join_for

   1.49 has timed_join, I think you can accomplish the same with that: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#thread.thread_management.thread.timed_join

   However, timed_join was deprecated in 1.50, with boost::chrono. How convenient. This needs something like:

   #if BOOST_VERSION >= 105000
       if (!threadHTTP.try_join_for(boost::chrono::milliseconds(2000))) {
   #else
       if (!threadHTTP.timed_join(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(2000))) {
   #endif

   thanks for this. httpserver.cpp compilation succeeded after that suggested change. I'll report if it causes any further issues.
