Hi,

I think there's a problem with xmlNanoHTTPMethod: in the case that it is
unable to connect, it closes stdin.

It calls xmlNanoHTTPNewCtxt to get ctxt, with the memory (including
ctxt->fd) all zeroed.

It then calls xmlNanoHTTPConnectHost to make the connection - if this
function is unable to connect, it returns -1, which then triggers a call
to xmlNanoHTTPFreeCtxt, which closes ctxt->fd if it is >=0.

It seems to me that we could avoid this by initializing ret->fd
(ctxt->fd) to -1 in xmlNanoHTTPNewCtxt.

Or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Harry
