What was wrong?
When a POA network returns >32 bytes of
extraDataaValidationErroris raised. Because this exception is also used for other errors, it is difficult to specifically target and handle the issue.Originally discussed on Gitter.
How was it fixed?
To more effectively handle this specific situation, I had added a new exception
ExtraDataLengthErrorwhich is only raised in this case. The new exception is a subclass ofValidationErrorso this shouldn't break any existing code.Cute Animal Picture
