[rabbitmq-users] Custom Acknowledgement Messages from the RabbitMQ server?

[Nitin Jamadagni]

Hello,
I am new to RabbitMQ, started using the python wrapper for it recently.
1)Wondering how to send a message back from the RabbitMQ server back to the
client after processing the request on the queue,say a result of the
processing?Is there any space
for doing such a thing or do you recommend a normal HTTP reply back to
the client?
2)Can we make some custom Acknowledge messages?
Please excuse if anything silly in the question,relatively new to this
technology!

Regards
Nitin Jamadagni

See Tutorial 6:
http://www.rabbitmq.com/getstarted.html

RabbitMQ 3.4.0 even provides an efficient way of doing request/response ("RPC")
but the tutorials and clients demonstrate/use the traditional approach for now.

What do you mean by "custom"? You can only use basic.ack to acknowledge.

Btw, by "custom" i meant user defined ack message,may be a given
scenario where we have ack back with a confirmation code immediately
though the request will be processed later from the queue.

So, a custom "reply"? Then all replies are custom ;) Message metadata has the "type" property, maybe you want to set that to an appropriate value?
