17277	make IOError exceptions during POST data read() easy to identify	J. David Lowe	nobody	"This is related to #10046 and #17069. I'm wading into contentious territory, I know ;)

In short, I want to be able to suppress the IOError exceptions that are raised under common, but completely uncontrollable, client conditions e.g. connection abruptly closed. Like others, though, I find it unacceptable to completely suppress IOError exceptions, though -- it's a very broad exception class, and I don't want to hide real bugs.

The attached patch addresses this by catching IOErrors that occur while read()ing POST data, and re-throwing them as a new subclass of IOError.

IMO this would simplify the filtering logic for #17069, and would also enable a narrowly-targeted fix to #10046 (which was closed, essentially, because globally handling IOError isn't appropriate.)
