[rabbitmq-discuss] Difference between get and consume.

Thu Nov 14 20:14:04 GMT 2013

Thank you very much for your answer. I need some complementary information 
to deal with my problem.
Here is the problem:
Suppose you start to consume (amqp_basic_consume) and loop over the frames 
when a exception is thrown and you exit the loop.

Remaining messages in the queue are consumed but not examined anymore :

- is there a way to find these "lost" messages ?

Won't it be safer to get one, handle it, catch exceptions if any and then 
move to the other one ?

- if yes, does "get" method consume the message as well ?

Thank you all for your help,

William
