[issue29266] test_create_connection_service_name fails if "http" isn't listed in /etc/services

[Brian Vandenberg]

New submission from Brian Vandenberg:

One of our solaris machines doesn't have an entry in /etc/services for "http".  This is causing test_create_connection_service_name to fail.

In my case I can just ignore that particular failure, but as a fix you might consider overtly getting valid service names from the host to test.  Additionally, if you don't already have it you might consider adding a test that validates behavior when using a non-existent service.
