[wildfly-dev] JBREM000200 error: XNI0000804: Received an invalid message length of 1195725856

[David M. Lloyd]

JBoss Remoting uses a feature called "HTTP Upgrade", which basically 
allows a client to connect to an HTTP port and then send a special HTTP 
request which allows an "upgrade" to another arbitrary protocol.  Later 
versions of WildFly use this feature by default to reduce the count of 
bound ports.

What is probably happening is that you are connecting to a port that has 
a plain Remoting listener on it, but the client is using "http-remoting" 
which means "JBoss Remoting over HTTP Upgrade".  So the client sends an 
HTTP request, but the server interprets it as garbage because it is 
expecting a Remoting framed packet instead.

The fix is to either change the client from "http-remoting" to just 
"remoting", or to change your server to use HTTP upgrade instead. 
Information on this should be in the user docs.
