[rabbitmq-discuss] Can't Determine Cause of 541 - INTERNAL_ERROR

Mon Feb 22 23:16:09 GMT 2010

I'm using amqplib with python. On a scheduled shutdown, the clients will 
first close their channel, then the connection via the builtin methods, 
but that is all. I'll have a hunt in the source to see what that does 
under the hood. Obviously as you say, there are many times (especially 
in larger scale testing) where things don't go to plan, but good to know 
there are no lasting side effects in terms of server stability with 
regards to the abruptly closed connections. I've changed the rabbit 
config, so we'll fire it up and let you know. Thanks again.
