 If the listener receives content that it tries to decode but the decode fails then a BadRequestHttpException will be thrown with the message:
 ``'Invalid ' . $format . ' message received'``. When combined with the [exception controller support](4-exception-controller-support.md) this means your API will provide useful error messages to your API users if they are making invalid requests.
