----------------------------------------
Hi Bill,
I agree with you. In addition to the change you've made, you also need to
log an error saying that the URL does not contain a transport protocol.
Otherwise, nobody would know what happened. (ex:- this error could occur if
someone omits the 'HTTP:' portion of a URL)
Regards,
Senaka
P.S. refer diff.txt for proposed patch.

> Key: AXIS2C-795
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-795
> Project: Axis2-C
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core/clientapi
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Environment: Windows XP, Visual Studio 2005
> Reporter: Bill Mitchell
> Priority: Minor
>
> In op_client.c, the function axis2_get_transport_from_url() is used to
> analyze the prefix to the URL. If the URL is malformed and does not contain
> a colon, the scan runs off the end of the url string.
> The loop that reads:
> start = url;
> end = url;
> while (end && (*end) != ':')
> end++;
> should read:
> start = url;
> end = url;
> while ((*end) && (*end) != ':')
> end++;
> I'll admit to coming across this by inspection while tracking another
> problem. I have not actually forced the seg fault, as the loop will usually
> find a colon somewhere in memory and return a very large transport string.
