Re: [paho-dev] Paho MQTT V5 sandbox server

[Ian Craggs <icraggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, yes.  And a good way of trying it out is by using the V5 support in 
the C client.  For instance, you can connect the publish and subscribe 
samples:

    paho_c_pub x --connection ws://paho8181.cloudapp.net -V 5 
--user-property name value --trace protocol

    paho_c_sub x --connection ws://paho8181.cloudapp.net -V 5 -v 
--trace protocol

where:
    -V 5                        use MQTT V5
    -v                           verbose: shows received user 
properties amongst other things
    --trace protocol     shows the MQTT packets
    --user-property     attaches a user property to each message (a 
name/value pair)
    ws://                      using a websocket connection

These are currently available in the repo - almost ready to cut a release.
