[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ Consumer timeout

Wed Jun 26 01:36:48 BST 2013

Antony;

rabbitmq-c has very recently added an API that allows for specifying a
timeout when waiting for frames from the broker (see
https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c/blob/master/librabbitmq/amqp.h#L495 ).
 With this API is possible to implement something with a similar effect.

I will warn you that this is only in the development branch and thus hasn't
received the same amount of testing that tagged versions have, but I would
encourage you to try it out and report back any issues that come up.
