/project/amweb611/build/amweb611/src/pdweb/webseald/http/server/handle-call.cpp:138: IO error during request parsing

Cause

This message is logged by WebSEAL when it was not able to properly read a request from a client. Some common causes could be...

1) The client is badly broken, causing a parse error.
2) The client is slow, causing a timeout
3) The client didn't reuse a persistent connection so WebSEAL closed it to free up it's resources.

Resolving The Problem

Most of the time these messages can be safely ignored.

In the case of an incorrectly formatted request, then the client would need to be fixed to ensure that proper protocol rules are followed.

In the case of a persistent connection being cleaned up because the client did not re-use it, then the client will just have to setup a new connection for it's next request.
