----------------------------------------
Summary: [Python binding] AMQP null type not sent on wire
according to AMQP specification
Key: PROTON-1091
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1091
Project: Qpid Proton
Issue Type: Bug
Components: python-binding
Reporter: Kim van der Riet
When sending AMQP type null as the content of a message, the Python binding
sends the message with no body at all, and similarly interprets a no-body AMQP
type message as a null type. This violates the AMQP 1.0 specification on two
counts:
* A body MUST be present and be one of three types (section 3.2);
* When sending an AMQP null type, there is an assigned AMQP type code (0x40)
which should be used.
This causes interoperability issues with other clients. For example, the C++
client can't send a null type to a python client without a failure (or _visa
versa_).
