Re: [paho-dev] When to send publish acknowledgements
|
Hi Ian,
I think you're mistaken - in v5.0 the broker/client must only retry
messages when it reconnects. In v3.1.1 it is required to retry
messages on reconnect, but it is not forbidden to retry messages in
other circumstances (I would argue that it is a bad idea to retry in
other circumstances though).
Regards,
Roger

In that case, I think the broker wouldn't (mustn't?) send a duplicate, but it could possibly take some other course of action.
