Exception while decoding CONNECT: must not receive this packet typ

MQTT CLI

Exploring Hive MQTT CLI commands on ActiveMQ broker with MQTT enabled.

But con command is failing with ERROR
Exception while decoding CONNECT: must not receive this packet type.

Any clue what went wrong?.

Here is the command :
con -i test2 -h mqtttest.broker.com -p 8883 -V 3 -u testadmin -pw password

Hello @dileepmandapam,

Thank you for reaching out and taking part in the conversation.
I’ve tried to reproduce the behaviour you described and it appears to me that mqtttest.broker.com is offline/not reachable.

Have you tried using the public HiveMQ broker for some tests? It can be reached under ‘mqtt-dashboard.com’.

Kind regards,
Florian
