"Socket error on client" when Bridge publishes topics from another Broker [message #1821894] Fri, 21 February 2020 18:09

I am trying to configure mosquitto as a bridge that will connect to one unsecured broker on my network and will re-publish the topics to an AWS topic. I am observing the following behavior:

This successfully is published:
message received via mosquitto_pub --> mosquitto bridge --> AWS topic

This fails to be published and logs "Socket error on client":
message received via remote broker --> mosquitto bridge --> AWS topic

1. Is there a way to debug or log additional information concerning the Socket error when these occur in mosquitto?
2. What would cause a message received via a mosquitto client to be successfully published but a message received via another broker fail to be published?

Whether the message to be forwarded to the remote broker comes via a publish request from the mosquitto_pub command or whether the message to be forwarded comes from another remote broker I would expect that mosquitto would send the message the same way. However mosquitto clearly published messages to a remote broker differently depending upon if they are received via mosquitto_pub or if they are received via remote broker.
