Strange issue: a wait before login "hangs" the connection

[tcarr]

Don't send a heart beat message before you get a successful login response. Odds are that's what is causing problems.

If you lose your connection to the server, your client has to create a fresh new instance of ElectroServer and then connect again. You can't restart a connection.

Ok.

Can I consider the connection lost if I receive a ActionRequiresLogin?

[tcarr]

I don't think that will break your connection, however if the client sends a heartbeat message before sending a LoginRequest, odds are very good that you will end up with a mismatch in expected messageId numbers, so that either the client or the server holds a message waiting for an expected messageId that never arrives. Just don't start your heartbeat until after a successful login.

Maybe I wasn't clear.

I understand the heartbeat issue.

I Just wanted to know if it is correct to assume that the connection is broken if I receive a ActionRequiresLogin.

The connection isn't broken because you did get that message, but you should treat it as if it were broken because now your messageIds won't match correctly. Make a fresh instance of ElectroServer and connect and login again.
