Description

Running a local ActiveMQ server, release 5.8.0, default configuration.
The documented "listen all' feature of the python example fails with the error
'bind: Address already in use.'

cd proton/examples/messenger/py;
./recv.py amqp://localhost/test – subscribes to a specified address, and works
./recv.py OR ./recv.py amqp://~localhost – listens to all addresses, and fails.

py/recv.py amqp://~localhost
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "py/recv.py", line 41, in <module> mng.subscribe(a)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/proton.py", line 371, in subscribe self._check(PN_ERR)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/proton.py", line 228, in _check raise exc("[%s]: %s" % (err, pn_messenger_error(self._mng)))
proton.MessengerException: [-2]: unable to subscribe to source: amqp://~localhost
(bind: Address already in use)

Same error from a similar java program, which calls proton-j.
Both fail trying to bind to localhost:5672, which is held by the local activemq server.
Must either fix the ~ADDRESS feature or remove it.
