publishing is asynchronous - there is no response. Are you sure the 
program is actually blocked in that part of the code?

You are not closing the connection at the end. Since connections have a 
(non-daemon) thread backing them, the program will not exit while the 
connection is still alive. I suspect that's what it is happening here.
