[rabbitmq-discuss] subscriber failed to detect closed connection

[Mark Ward]

Hi Tim,

Thanks, I found the heartbeat property on the connection class. 
connectionFactory.RequestedHeartbeat   I didn't realize it was default off 
(0) and will test with a value.

Hi Mark,

You should try enabling AMQP heartbeats, as this should resolve the issue 
of detecting the connection is being closed.
