AMQP through HTTP proxy using CONNECT tunnelling

[Tyrone Erasmus]

Hi,

I know that AMQP is a binary protocol but I have the need to tunnel it through an HTTP proxy that supports the HTTP CONNECT method. This simply provides a TCP connection after you have sent the CONNECT command.

In the RabbitMQ C# source it looks like this has already been implemented in TunneledTcpClient, see https://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq-dotnet-client/v3.6.3/rabbitmq-dotnet-client-3.6.3-client-htmldoc/html/type-RabbitMQ.Client.TunneledTcpClient.html#method-M:RabbitMQ.Client.TunneledTcpClient.#ctor(System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily,System.String,System.Int32,System.String,System.String)

However, there are no docs anywhere on how this could be used.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it

Kind regards

Tyrone

The answer to this was in the git commit message (see https://github.com/shanuwed/rabbitmq-dotnet-test-client/commit/7673771d3ab0ffb6633117aeab6f3d92252bc3ca):

Use: Just override ConnectionFactory.SocketFactory to return new TunneledTcpClient.

mqConnectionfactory.SocketFactory = family => new TunneledTcpClient(family,"proxy.my_company", 8080, mqConfig.ProxyUsername, mqConfig.ProxyPassword);
