Josh,<br><br>At this stage, none of the standard clients actually support connecting to Rabbit via HTTP. The rabbitmq-mochiweb plugin simply provides an embedded HTTP server within the broker - it doesn't actually provide any HTTP services for the client to connect to.<br>
<br>The rabbitmq-jsonrpc plugin does actually provide a JSON-RPC endpoint for the broker - however, the only client provided for this is a Javascript based client (though this in no way means that a non-javascript client wouldn't be possible).<br>
<br>RabbitHub (<a href="http://github.com/tonyg/rabbithub/tree/master">http://github.com/tonyg/rabbithub/tree/master</a>) provides another HTTP-style endpoint for Rabbit - in this case, via a Restful API. Once again, however, there is no official client for this.<br>
<br>The documentation is being updated for the various rabbitmq-* plugins as part of the 1.7 release, so hopefully the distinction between the various functions will become clearer at that point.<br><br>On your original point however, is it actually not possible to get the RabbitMQ port opened through your firewall? Or alternatively, would you be able to use something like stunnel to sneak the traffic through looking like HTTPS? (this would certainly require experimentation, as I'm not entirely sure this would all work from a protocol perspective - I suspect it would all depend on the strength of the firewall/proxy) <br>
<br>Hopefully this helps clear up some of your questions.<br><br>Paul.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Aug 30, 2009 at 2:03 PM, Josh Geisser <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:josh@gebaschtel.ch">josh@gebaschtel.ch</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
My goal is to connect my consumers and providers over http to the RabbitMQ (fw/proxy between clients and queue), and after a few hours of googeling I'm more confused than before.<br>
<br>
I was kind of able to get the rabbitmq-mochiweb running, but didn't find any examples how to use/verify it with amqplib/python<br>
<br>
Can someone pinpoint me whether this is already possible, and how to start?<br>
<br>
Cheers & thanks<br>
Josh<br>
