Socket not closed when host name resolution fails in network_handler.c
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AXIS2C-1557
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-1557
             Project: Axis2-C
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: util
    Affects Versions: 1.6.0
         Environment: QNX 6.4 (built from source WSO2 WSF C++)
            Reporter: Chris Steinbeck
            Priority: Minor


This is a boundary case but we found that when the host name could not be 
resolved the a socket was leaked and the server eventually exceeded the maximum 
number of open files.

The leak is in axutil_network_handler_open_socket in network_handler.c. The 
socket is created on line 68 (non-Win32) and receives a file descriptor. If the 
server is identified by a host name as opposed to an IP address the call to 
getbyhostname should resolve the name. If this call fails, AXIS2_INVALID_SOCKET 
is returned on line 99 but the file descriptor is not closed. A call to 
AXIS2_CLOSE_SOCKET should be added - as is done in the next error case on lines 
108-110.

(Line numbers based on Axis2/C 1.6 and confirmed in trunk revision 1152415)
