[zeromq-dev] Recovering a ROUTER socket

[Sam Stein]

The documentation for a ROUTER socket says: "When receiving messages a ZMQ_ROUTER socket shall prepend a message part containing the identity of the originating peer to the message before passing it to the application."

When our bound endpoint goes down, it drops currently pending requests to a text file.

<NEWREQUEST>
008000002D

Hello world
</NEWREQUEST>

When we boot a new one, it can read these files, but it can't identify the client in question because the identifier was unique to the previous socket. It has no concept of who this "008000002D" client is (or sends it to a new client it has identified with this tag).

The question is, can we force a ROUTER socket to use a unique identity provided by the client instead of making one up on its own?


Thank you,
