Support friendly connection name when connecting

[C-Duv]

Since rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#104, RabbitMQ clients can pass a "friendly connection name" to the server when connecting.
This is not a reliable identifier but is shown in the server's management web interface and can serve for debugging.
Can such feature be implemented in pika?

This has been supported since this commit - 5dc90ad

Great. Sorry I didn't found it in the documentation. Thanks :)

Here is an example for anyone stepping here and as lost as I was:

parameters = pika.ConnectionParameters(
    'amqp.example.com',
    5672,
    virtual_host='/',
    client_properties={
        'connection_name': 'My foobar client',
    },
)
connection = pika.BlockingConnection(parameters)

We would be happy to accept a pull request that improves the documentation and examples. Thanks!

Hello. I want to use pika.URLParameters to create a pika.BlockingConnection. How to set connection_name in this case?

[mauvilsa]

Okay, figured it out:

connection = BlockingConnection(parameters=URLParameters("amqps://user:pass@hostname:5671/?client_properties={"connection_name":"name"}"))
