Threading issue in CommonsHTTPTransportSender when different messages use 
different HTTP versions or transfer encoding settings
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AXIS2-4716
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4716
             Project: Axis2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: transports
    Affects Versions: nightly
            Reporter: Dave Bryant


There is a threading issue in the 
CommonsHTTPTransportSender.writeMessageWithCommons() method where it determines 
what HTTP version to use when sending the message and whether the chunked 
transfer encoding should be used.  The 'chunked' and 'httpVersion' member 
variables are set when this transport sender is constructed, but are then 
overridden as every message is sent if that message defines a property 
explicitly enabling the chunked encoding, or setting the HTTP version.  
However, as multiple threads may be active in this code simultaneously, it is 
very possible that the wrong combination of parameters will be used for a 
particular message.  In addition, as soon as one message sets these values 
explicitly, the default values are changed for all subsequent messages.

In the current trunk (r919960) from line 392:

{code}
if (messageContext.getProperty(HTTPConstants.CHUNKED) != null) {
                chunked = JavaUtils.isTrueExplicitly(messageContext
                        .getProperty(HTTPConstants.CHUNKED));
            }

            if (messageContext.getProperty(HTTPConstants.HTTP_PROTOCOL_VERSION) 
!= null) {
                httpVersion = (String) messageContext
                        .getProperty(HTTPConstants.HTTP_PROTOCOL_VERSION);
            }
            // Following order needed to be preserved because,
            // HTTP/1.0 does not support chunk encoding
            sender.setChunked(chunked);
            sender.setHttpVersion(httpVersion);
            sender.setFormat(format);
{code}

This should be changed to use local variables for the http version and chunked 
encoding value, and retrieve this either from the message property or from the 
member variables if the message property is not set.  The member variables for 
these settings should be regarded as immutable after init() has been called.
