• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server  version 9.0                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Improve invalid content length          *
  *                      exception message "SRVE0080E: Invalid   *
  *                      content length".                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When a request sent with an invalid data length, either more or
  less data than specified in the content-length header, a
  "java.io.IOException: SRVE0080E: Invalid content length"
  is thrown without any additional information about the actual
  sent data and the specified data in the content-length header.
  

Problem conclusion

• The WebContainer code was modified to improve the exception
  message to include all the necessary information.
  
  For example:
  
  "java.io.IOException: SRVE0080E: Invalid content length. The
  content length of the request was {0}, but {1} bytes were
  received."
  
  where {0} and {1} are replaced with the appropriate
  sent data specified in the header and the received data.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 9.0.0.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
