# MQTT in curl ## Usage A plain "GET" subscribes to the topic and prints all published messages. Doing a "POST" publishes the post data to the topic and exits. Example subscribe: curl mqtt://host/home/bedroom/temp Example publish: curl -d 75 mqtt://host/home/bedroom/dimmer ## What does curl deliver as a response to a subscribe It outputs two bytes topic length (MSB | LSB), the topic followed by the payload. ## Caveats Remaining limitations: - Only QoS level 0 is implemented for publish - No way to set retain flag for publish - No TLS (mqtts) support - Naive EAGAIN handling will not handle split messages
