Connection handshake failed with CloudAMQP

Hi, I am trying to connect to an instance of CloudAMQP but I am getting the following error

ERROR: LoadError: AMQPClient.AMQPClientException("Connection handshake failed")

Stacktrace:

I have no issues connecting to a localhost server and in the cloud I tested it using pika package from python successfully.

I leave a snippet of the testing code (it's nothing special really)

auth_params = Dict{String,Any}("MECHANISM" => "AMQPLAIN", "LOGIN" => login, "PASSWORD" => password)
conn = connection(; virtualhost=vhost, host, port, auth_params, amqps=nothing)

where login and password are the string credentials. vhost equals login. host is the string url of the form xxxx.rmq.cloudamqp.com and port=5672.

As a sidenote it would be really nice if there would be a method like pika that let's you connect using a URL like here.

Thanks in advance, Matias.

As a temporary fix (I hope), I ended up using PyCall.jl and pika for all the AMPQ calls and works well for my use case, but it would be awesome if someone knows how to resolve the issue with the Julia client I explained above.

Thanks for reporting. This should be fixed by #40.
I shall tag a new version shortly.
