remove abort() calls #13

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
serf currently calls abort() in certain situations, for example when
parsing data returned from the header, and that data isn't correct.

Since serf is a library, it should *never*, *ever* call abort(). Instead,
it should return an error.

An abort() call will tear down the whole application.

Just in case you think calling abort() is acceptable: imagine a webbrowser
would simply exit just because some buggy website returns unexpected data.
I don't think anyone would like that but wants to see an error instead.
