Description:
------------
For session handling it may be neccessary, that a script continues to send SOAP-Requests although a previous request may failed. I use a soap proxy to check a session identifier. If that fails, a new session is created.

If the first call fails, all further calls through SOAP fail too. This is because in Client::call, the return status of a request is determined by checking the presence of a _soap_transport->fault object. Since, in subsequent calls, the _soap_transport object is not re-created, the _soap_transport->fault object is not reset for new requests.

So, every request after a failed one will fail too, since Client::call checks the _soap_transport->fault object which may be present due to an earlier error.

As a workaround, I set the fault-Object of my transport-class (HTTP) to null on calls to HTTP::send.

Test script:
---------------
reproduce BUG:
$soapWSDL = new SOAP_WSDL('http://www.example.com/soap_server.php?wsdl');
$soapProxy =& $soapWSDL->getProxy();
$result = $soapProxy->checkSession($sessionID);
$result = $soapProxy->startSession('username','password');

workaround:
In the respective transport class (in Transport/*.php), add the following line to the send-method:
$this->fault = null;
