    client.request(web::http::methods::GET).then(
        [](web::http::http_response response)
        {
            // Print the status code.
            cout << "Server returned returned status code " << response.status_code() << '.' << std::endl;

            // TODO: Perform actions here reading from the response stream.
            auto bodyStream = response.body();

            // In this example, we print the length of the response to the console.
            cout << "Content length is " << response.headers().content_length() << " bytes." << std::endl;
        }).wait();
}

    cout << "Hello world!" << endl;

So the issue is first the declaration:

typedef unsigned char bbyte;
typedef std::basic_string<bbyte> bytestring;

followed by creating a string like this:

bytestring mystr;

 ALL before including casablanca headers.

Note that if you create the string AFTER including casablanca headers, the code works!?
