Bill Mitchell commented on AXIS2C-1015:
---------------------------------------
Although I've not researched exactly how the axutil_uri_get_xxx accessors are
used, it appears that generally throughout Axis2C the _get_ accessors return
axis2_char_t * or similar references without a const declaration, and with no
intention of allowing the caller to modify the indicated string. Consider, for
example, axiom_namespace_get_prefix in axiom_namespace.h. Changing every such
interface to return a duplicate will introduce a lot of overhead and will mean
that the callers must take ownership and free the associated memory. It would
be better to perform a general overhaul of the interfaces to add const to the
declarations, although such a change, too, will naturally propagate throughout
the callers' code as well.
> In axutil_uri, a reference is returned, where a duplicated string should be.

> In axutil_uri, a reference is returned, where a duplicated string should be.
> This is because we return axis2_char_t * rather than const axis2_char_t *.
> However, a user is expected to be able modify what is returned, according to
> current api, and thus we must return a cloned copy of the actual string.
