class Qpid::Proton::Message

A Message represents an addressable quantity of data.

Message Body ↑

The message body can be set using the body= method. The message will then attempt to determine how exactly to encode the content.

Examples ↑

To create a message for sending:

# send a simple text message
msg = Qpid::Proton::Message.new
msg.body = "STATE: update"

# send a binary chunk of data
data = File.binread("/home/qpid/binfile.tar.gz")
msg = Qpid::Proton::Message.new
msg.body = Qpid::Proton::BinaryString.new(data)
