> When using the libcurl version of Axis2C, I inadvertently provided an invalid URL address.  It turns out that axis2_libcurl ignores an error sending the request and goes ahead and tries to parse the non-existent response.  The preferred behavior would be to match that of axis2_http_sender_send in its normal configuration, and return AXIS2_FAILURE.  It would be nice if the actual curl error were logged.  
> When investigating this, I noticed that axis2_libcurl allocates a axis2_libcurl structure on each send, and this structure is never freed.  
> I also noticed that the routine was not well behaved when the allocation of the axis2_libcurl structure failed.
