MQTT stands for Message Queue Telemetry Transport . It is a publish/subscribe, extremely simple and lightweight messaging protocol, designed for constrained devices and low-bandwidth, high-latency or unreliable networks.
2017-06-05 sbron I created an MQTT client library and published it on chiselapp
2017-08-21 dzach Thanks sbron! The client library works nicely with mosquitto . Maybe it should find its place in tcllib?
Is there a way to figure out if a client is currently connected to an mqtt broker?

I am running a simple subscriber client with this code, eg.
set client [mqtt new]
$client connect uwe-client $::addr
$client subscribe {BCDS/#} message_callbackand while it works with a local broker, eg. mosquitto, it fails with an internet broker, eg. iot.eclipse.org.
The stack trace is
your script1507901608909 (::oo::Obj22_coro): can't read "msgid": no such variable
while executing
"dict set rc msgid $msgid"
(class "::mqtt" method "receive" line 35)
invoked from within
"my receive"
(class "::mqtt" method "listen" line 27)
invoked from within
"my listen"
While debugging this problem, it seems that the API cannot handle concatenated messages into one packet. I cannot prove it without much effort. Can someone tell me yes or no whether concatenated messages are handled properly, eg. the packet to the receive method contains a MQTT request and a half?
