             Summary: proton-c: Messenger abstracts away connections, but it would be useful to fail fast for auth errors etc.
                 Key: PROTON-669
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-669
             Project: Qpid Proton
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: proton-c
    Affects Versions: 0.7
            Reporter: Dominic Evans


As previously discussed on the mailing list under "[Using the messenger API to connect to a server without sending or subscribing|http://qpid.2158936.n2.nabble.com/Using-the-messenger-API-to-connect-to-a-server-without-sending-or-subscribing-td7607184.html]"

Messenger doesn't provide a way of requesting a connection. Messenger has been designed to abstract away the notion of establishing connections from the user, but we would like to fail fast in those situations and return authentication errors (e.g.,) to the user. Rafa suggested that we could add an option to messenger to enable the checking of routes at startup, which is what the attached patch intends to do.
