[mosquitto-dev] Topic aliasing on messages sent out by Mosquitto

Hi, 

(This is a resend of a mail sent on 2 June, 2020 16:40. It never got a reply, but I since then learned the list breaks DMARC and puts messages in spam. Also mailing Roger directly).

I've been able to successfully use topic aliases with Mosquitto 1.6.8, but only when initiating it as a publisher. Apparently, as a subscriber, you can't request that a broker use aliases for messages that are sent out? I suppose that's not part of the standard? Is it doable/desirable to be able to configure Mosquitto to attempt to use aliases when subscribers connect with 'topic-alias-maximum' set? 

And what about bridges? We also use Mosquitto as client and it would be very beneficial if we could make all the topics aliased. 

Regards, 

Wiebe 


PS For illustration: 

If I publish, I can see the second message's 'null' topic: 


# ./mosquitto_pub -V mqttv5 -u wiebe -P "$wiebepass" -h 127.0.0.1 -p 18883 --insecure -t 'R/asdf/adsf/asdf/asdf/' --property publish topic-alias 1 -d -l 
Client (null) sending CONNECT

message one 
Client auto-6E67EB4C-C338-E189-EA8A-2F199A0F265D sending PUBLISH (d0, q0, r0, m1, 'R/asdf/adsf/asdf/asdf/', ... (11 bytes)) 
message two 
Client auto-6E67EB4C-C338-E189-EA8A-2F199A0F265D sending PUBLISH (d0, q0, r0, m2, '(null)', ... (11 bytes)) 


When I subscribe, I still see the topic: 


# ./mosquitto_sub -V mqttv5 -u wiebe -P "$wiebepass" -h 127.0.0.1 -p 18883 --insecure -t '#' -v -d --property connect topic-alias-maximum 10
