Description

I can create and send messages with list or map content without a problem. The content type is correctly set to either "amqp/list" or "amqp/map" depending on the content object.

The problem is when I read the message. The message.content value is garbled. Here is the code that implements the reading of a content property:

    def _get_content(self) :
        obj = self.getContentObject()
        if obj:
            return obj
        if self.content_type == "amqp/list" :
            return decodeList(self)
        if self.content_type == "amqp/map" :
            return decodeMap(self)
        return self.getContent()

The self.getContentObject() call returns the garbled string. As you can see in the code it then decides not to decode it. Really strange.

I get the proper result if I manually call decodeList(message) or decodeMap(message), but that is not a reasonable thing to do.
