/**
 * This exception is used to indicate that the reply from a server could not be interpreted. Most of the NetComponents classes attempt to be as lenient as
 * possible when receiving server replies. Many server implementations deviate from IETF protocol specifications, making it necessary to be as flexible as
 * possible. However, there will be certain situations where it is not possible to continue an operation because the server reply could not be interpreted in a
 * meaningful manner. In these cases, a MalformedServerReplyException should be thrown.
