Hi all,

I opened AXIS2C-1537 and attached two small patches which basically
contain the changes described below.

In my case it has helped - though I have to admit that I do not use the
"simple_axis2_server", therefore I have not tested the change in
http_server_main.c - it is rather intended to reflect what I have
changed in my own server code (see below [1]).

Some review is appreciated.
Rgds,

This is [1] as mentioned above

This is the other patch.
