Description Gideon Farrell CLA 2015-08-21 07:50:17 EDT 
If Client has connected, and then connection is lost (for my tests I kill the MQTT broker):

a) the Client does not seem to detect that the connection has been terminated (or at least I see no way to be notified of such)
b) nor does it report any sort of message send failure, so messages are permanently lost (I have confirmed that they are)

Hi Roger,

Is there any update on this issue?  We are unable to maintain connectivity without the disconnect event.  

Can I propose we increase the severity on it?

we have implemented an acceptable work around, please do not change the severity
