Hi,

When a client is connecting with AMQP 1.0 to the C++ broker and the node
from which it wants to consume messages doesn't exist, the broker throws an
amqp:not-found error even when ACL rules deny the user to access or publish
from the given node (queue).

For a security reasons, I would assume that the ACL check for access or
publish rules should be done before revealing that the queue doesn't exist.
The broker should not reveal any details about its configuration if the ACL
rights don't allow it.

This problem might to some extent exist also with AMQP 0.10. But the Qpid
AMQP 0.10 clients always query the existence of a queue/exchange before
connecting to it and the QueueQuery / QueueDeclare calls are ACL protected,
so the Qpid based AMQP 0.10 client always receives the ACL error before the
not-found error. But I guess if you skip the QueueQuery / QueueDeclare and
go directly to MessageSubscribe the same problem as with AMQP 1.0 might
exist in AMQP 0.10 as well.

Do you think it makes sense to change this behaviour? Is it worth raising a
JIRA?

Thanks & Regards
Jakub
