Hi,
I am looking for a way hot to send a heartbeat. I have found something
about sending an empty frame and pn_transport_set_idle_timeout()
Is this somewhat related? Is there a way how to send/receive heartbeats?
In AMQP 1.0, heartbeats are configured separately in each direction.
That is, each of the connected processes indicates how frequently the
remote peer should send some traffic in order to prevent the connection
timing out due to being idle.
So in proton, to indicate to the remote peer that they should send
heartbeats, you do indeed set the idle timeout. Proton will advertise
half that time to the peer such that they should then send heartbeats
frequently enough to avoid the connection timing out when connected.
The sending out of heartbeats by the local peer is controlled by the
remote peer and whatever idle timeout it has advertised.
