Hi Frank,

Thanks for posting the code. I think I see the problem.

The problem is that amqp_get_rpc_reply() is only intended for use with
API operations that don't themselves return an amqp_rpc_reply_t. The
amqp_login function does return an amqp_rpc_reply_t value, so you should
be checking that instead of the result of amqp_get_rpc_reply(). It's
confusing and undocumented, I know; I'm working on making it less
confusing and improving the documentation too.

[Aside: everything after the SASL method argument to amqp_login is
varargs, so if you're hard-coding the username and password in those
positions, it makes sense to remove your nAMQPSaslMethod field and
instead hardcode AMQP_SASL_METHOD_PLAIN.]

I've also changed the code just now to no longer ignore the result of
amqp_login_inner. Thanks for the bug reports!

Regards,
  Tony
