[rabbitmq-discuss] Handling Channel.Flow method

Tue Jan 5 19:32:23 GMT 2010

Hi Scott,

If I read the details of the select call correctly, wouldn't I have  
to provide a timeout value so that if there is nothing to read from  
the socket I stop blocking and can publish the next message?

Regards,

Chris
