Glad to hear that.

Connection blocking happens at the tcp level since that's the only way 
the broker can make sure it will not be receiving any more messages 
regardless of what the client is doing.

Consequently the AMQP connection.close command will not be received by 
the broker either. There's nothing we can do about that at the broker end.

Clients could have some sort of timeout for these situations, but few 
client libraries support that.

Matthias.
