If no complete response was parsed, ServerDisconnectedError (default message 'Server disconnected') is raised instead. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Exact wording of the wrapped exception repr varies with aiohttp version and whether the C parser is used. Other error fragments: - Not enough data to satisfy transfer length header. - Not enough data to satisfy content length header (received {received} of {self._length_expected} bytes). - Server disconnected Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/2d/4d/4a99fb425c5e0cad715eea7bd190aff46f38b959a0a2dadb993705d34b26/aiohttp-3.14.3-cp310-cp310-macosx_10_9_universal2.whl#aiohttp/client_proto.py (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): connection_lost wraps parser feed_eof errors in ClientPayloadError('Response payload is not completed: ...') and raises ServerDisconnectedError when the response was incomplete. - https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/2d/4d/4a99fb425c5e0cad715eea7bd190aff46f38b959a0a2dadb993705d34b26/aiohttp-3.14.3-cp310-cp310-macosx_10_9_universal2.whl#aiohttp/http_parser.py (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): feed_eof raises ContentLengthError / TransferEncodingError 'Not enough data to satisfy ...'. - https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/2d/4d/4a99fb425c5e0cad715eea7bd190aff46f38b959a0a2dadb993705d34b26/aiohttp-3.14.3-cp310-cp310-macosx_10_9_universal2.whl#aiohttp/client_exceptions.py (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): ServerDisconnectedError default message 'Server disconnected'.
