Description:
------------
A PHP script instantiates two SoapClients, and makes two succesful requests using the first.  Now and then, the server closes the connnection after replying to the second request, by sending a FIN packet, which is ACKnowledged by the client.  The client makes two succesful requests using the second client, and tries to make a third one using the first client.  The server rejects the packets from the third request (a RST is sent for each packet received), and the client complains: "Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault errors fetching http headers".

The client knows the connection has been closed, since recv returns 0.  In most cases, a new connection will be established, but now and then, the client disregards the closure.

From a TCP point of view, the client may send data before closing its side of the connection, but from an application point of view it makes no sense to post a request and expect an answer.

When I posted this, I had not yet realized the server had closed the connection earlier on.

Problem first noticed on a CentOS 6.5 VMWare client, reproducible on Debian Wheezy physical system, 32+64bit,  PHP 5.4 and 5.5.

PHP Version => 5.4.30-dev
System => Linux ghp-debian-vm 3.2.0-4-486 #1 Debian 3.2.54-2 i686
Build Date => May 16 2014 13:34:15
Configure Command =>  './configure'  '--enable-soap'


Expected result:
----------------
SoapClient should establish a new connection, as it does usually.
