Transaction Malformed

The transaction_malformed error returns a 400 error code and occurs when a client submits a malformed transaction.

There are many ways in which a transaction could be malformed, including:

1. You submitted an empty string.
2. Your base64-encoded string is invalid.
3. Your XDR structure is invalid.
4. You have leftover bytes in your XDR structure.
