TODO

• Save connect_urls property from INFO response and use it later when attempting to reconnect
• In publish method make the payload optional. Its ok to send 0 count and no payload PUB swift.test 0\r\n\r\n (just pass "" as payload)
• Support subscribing to a queue group SUB swift.test G1 11\r\n
• Configurable max queue size, default 100
• Configurable message encoding, default UTF-8
• When trying to reconnect to the server, wait 5 seconds between retries, configurable
• Add a reconnecting event
