That codes is part of an rpc continuation. It gets called when the 
cancel-ok arrives, and the call to handleCancelOk happens right after 
the above line.

Here is the sequence of client actions I proposed:

1) send basic.cancel
2) wait for basic.cancel-ok
3) send basic.recover
4) send basic.consume

So you do indeed need a basic.consume to re-establish the consumer.

One needs to be very careful with the threading here though. For 
example, the basic.consume must not be issued from the handleCancelOk 
callback. Doing so would most likely cause a deadlock. Perhaps that's 
what you were seeing.

Anyway, I'm glad the channel close/re-open works as expected.

Matthias.
