Re: [mosquitto-dev] Is there a function in the broker to "delete" a topi

[Roger Light <roger@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrew,

There's not a straightforward way to do this in the broker. You could
do what Nick suggested, then have a plugin deny access to outgoing
messages with zero length, if your clients can't cope with zero length
messages.

Regards,

Roger

I realize that the topic will re-appear if a client sends a new message to it, but this would still be very useful for my application.
