Hi, I'm scratching my head a bit to understand your scenario so I'll answer the easy question first. ;-) The address format currently used by messenger isn't part of any official spec, and the official spec will likely look a bit different. When the spec is ratified, we will have to change and probably do some work to maintain backwards compatibility.
Now as for your scenario, I applied your patch and ran through the scenario you describe and what I observed was the first reply going from window 1 to window 3 getting dropped due to the (intentionally) aborted connection, and the second reply ending up going to window 2 because the window 1 messenger saw that there was no connection and was able to initiate its own connection based on the address in the reply_to. What is perhaps a little odd about this configuration is the fact that the messenger in window 3 has chosen a dns registered name that collides with the ip/port used in window 2. If you imagine instead that the messenger in window 3 is actually subscribed to amqp://~127.0.0.1:23456/, then the behaviour could be quite useful. The server could in fact get a reply back to the client even if the client's original connection dies. So assuming I understand your scenario/suggestion correctly, I'd say the ability to choose a dns registered name for your messenger is actually a feature, not a bug. I'll also point out that because the messenger name is placed in the reply_to address with simple text substitution, you can always choose your messenger name to be '/foo' instead of foo (or indeed you could use any illegal domain character) in order to avoid the possibility of accidental collision. Does this help at all or do I have the wrong end of the stick regarding your scenario? --Rafael On Sun, Nov 3, 2013 at 11:47 AM, Bozo Dragojevic <bo...@digiverse.si> wrote: > On 3. 11. 13 17:41, Bozo Dragojevic wrote: > > [snip] > > The attached patch 0002-... implements the former solution. >> >> > I just noticed it's possible to say reply_to = "~/foo/bar".
