Detecting when client closes

[rherbert <na...@ryan.xar.us>]

I'm writing a service based on the server.cpp and multithreaded_client.cpp
examples. I'm maintaining a map of senders to reply to the clients (which
are using a dynamic queue), but I don't know how to tell when the client
goes away, so my map just continues to increase in size.

I've tried setting the source_options and target_options on both sides to
have an expiry_policy of LINK_CLOSE and a timeout of IMMEDIATE, but still I
don't see anything different.

Is there a way I can do this? Or do I need to bounce a message to the client
every once in a while to see if it's still there?

Re: Detecting when client closes

[Alan Conway <ac...@redhat.com>]

Use the on_transport_closed event to detect a client closing it's TCP
connection. Other closed events (on_link_closed, on_connection_closed) are
generated when the remote end politely closes the AMQP state associated
with link, connection etc. - you will not get these events if there's a
failure and the TCP connection closes abruptly. You will always get an
on_transport_closed event when a client disconnects, either abruptly or
politely.

In the case of a network or host failure the TCP layer may take a long time
to detect the disconnect, so to ensure it is detected within some definite
time you can set the idle_timeout connection option. This has a similar
effect as bouncing messages off the client, but is built into the AMQP
protocol so it is more efficient and requires less coding on your part.
