From pre-Boost-review feedback
Added body_limit and header_limit
Hi Vinnie, sorry it's not clear to me the simplest way to customise the body limits, at the moment I'm reading data in a very easy way:
boost::beast::flat_buffer buffer;
http::response<http::string_body> res;
http::read(socket, buffer, res);
But my payload exceeded 8MiB. It seems that I need to define a custom parser, does I really need to do this? and suppose I do so, how my custom parser (as described in https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/ref/boost__beast__http__basic_parser.html) fits in my code?
I successfully used your great library in many standard situation, but I struggled a bit in those kind of customisation and I fear to follow too much complex way to just increase a buffer.
Thank you for your time!
The documentation explains how to use the parser-oriented interfaces and provides example code:

Yeah, sorry you are right, I missed that page, I reached my goal this way:
boost::beast::flat_buffer buffer;
http::response_parser<http::string_body> parser;
parser.body_limit(16 * 1024 * 1024);
http::read(socket, buffer, parser);
std::cout << parser.get().body() << "\n";
thank you again
