The reason we don't map the blank exchange name to something else is that RabbitMQ permits anything in the exchange name, so *** and --- actually are valid exchange names.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I understand but it seems to me that the pain it causes users in general is greater than the remote chance somebody would have called its queue ---. Alternatively you could wrap queue names e.g. around brackets. You could also use a divider ' | ' (which would also be an issue if somebody called its queue ' | ' but again it seems to me that the benefits way outweigh the drawbacks).�</div>

Are all AMQP interactions going through nanite? I can see there aren't any queue.unbind actions in that code base.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Our code is based on nanite although we have heavily customized it now.</div>

The queue and exchange code has changed quite a bit in the recent release.

ok. If you *do* think of a use case for auto-delete exchanges, please let us know. The AMQP 0-9-1 spec actually removes that</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

I recreated some bindings from within the broker (directly in mnesia) and now things started working again. Is there a better way to re-create the binding to the default exchange without having to re-create the queue?<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
You should be able to issue an appropriate queue.bind command. As I mentioned earlier, such explicit operations on the default exchange should imo not be permitted, but rabbit does and it's a grey area of the spec. So currently it should work, just don't write any code that depends on it.<br>

I should probably mention that sending the following queue.bind packet didn't seem to help (rabbitmqctl list_bindings still shows the<br>
binding �missing).<br>
<br>
[:sending,<br>
�#<AMQP::Protocol::Queue::Bind:0x9b26778<br>
�@arguments=nil,<br>
�@debug=1,<br>
�@exchange=<br>

The exchange in the above should be blank.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Setting the exchange to blank here did not seem to do the right thing. The binding that is missing is the one from the queue name to the routing key with the same name.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also a different issue: Using a blank string with rabbitmqctl set_permissions has the same effect as using a wild card (.*). This seems a little bit counter-intuitive (i.e. rabbitmqctl set_permissions user "" "' "" has the same effect as rabbitmqctl set_permissions user ".*" ".*" ".*").</div>
<div><br></div><div>Finally a different question: is there a way to force a disconnect from a client from the broker? we have code that will force the client to recreate the binding and resubscribe if the connection gets broken and it would be nice if we could trigger this manually.</div>
