Completely file-less app goes kaboom

[Robin Berjon <ro...@berjon.com>]

Heya y'all,

I found a bug in Ax2 but am unsure as to which is the best way of  
fixing it. Basically, if you have an Ax2 server setup that doesn't  
use files at all (purely applicative) it will not work. The problem  
is due to the fact that in Client.pm at the end of the fixup phase  
when xmlresponse is being started an instance of a Processor is  
created. However if $hd->filename is undef Procesor's constructor  
simply dies.

This is quite annoying. So far I've worked around it by having it not  
create a Processor if there's no filename, but I don't think that's  
the right fix. Any thoughts as to what the best patch would be? If  
the above is unclear I can provide a trivial example.

Please do. It's always easier with an example.
