[FIXED] Conn and Subscription Close()/Unubscribe() could not be retried #360

Closed kozlovic closed 2 years ago

kozlovic commented 2 years ago

If a connection is closed, or a subscription is closed or unsubscribed, and an error occurs at the protocol level, for instance getting a timeout or the NATS connection is currently disconnected, etc.. the Close()/Unsubscribe() calls would return an error but the user would not be able to invoke them again, in the sense that these calls would bail out early because those objects were already marked as closed.

This was problematic because if an application closes a connection for instance but gets a timeout, then there is no way for the application to really try to tell the server that the connection should be closed. (same for subscription).

This PR let the user call Close()/Unsubscribe() if the library failed to get a response from the server (likely timeout or NATS communication issue). However, if the server returns an error, then the connection/ subscription will be considered fully closed and user won't be able to call the close API again. The alternative would be to set the object as fully closed only in case of total success...
