[rabbitmq-discuss] Debug strategy for truncated message bodies

Fri Nov 13 17:04:02 GMT 2009

I have a case where a Java client (RabbitMQ 1.6) is sending to a reply
queue, which is owned/read by a Python client (qpid, 0.8 spec). The
message body sent by the Java client is ~500K. The message body read
by the Python client is ~172K. Comparing the two byte streams,
something is truncating the message body along the way.

My first inclination is just to use tcpdump to figure out what's going
on, but perhaps there's a more straight forward approach for debugging
this, or any obvious known issues that would explain the truncation.

Thanks,
Garrett
