mosquitto_publish returns MOSQ_ERR_SUCCESS eventhough MQTT broker is not running

[sujitha]

Hi,

I connected to MQTT broker using Mosquitto client libraray.

I used below code for connection.

 ret = mosquitto_connect (mosq, MQTT_HOSTNAME, MQTT_PORT, 0);

After connecting to broker I stopped the broker service.

Now I tried to publish message using below code

ret = mosquitto_publish (mosq, NULL,topic,  strlen (text), text, 1, 1);

Eventhough the broker is running, mosquitto_publish API returns success.

When calling mosquitto_publish API second time, it returns 14.

Why mosquitto_publish returns success evethough the broker is running?How to fix this issue?

Thanks mosq advance.
