****************************************************************
When failure occurs reading POST data from the client, the
plugin treats it as an appserver error causing the appserver
to be marked down.  An error should be logged and sent back
to the client however the appserver should not be marked
down.
Problem conclusion
Updated plugin so that the appserver will not be marked down
when client POST errors are encountered.
