Withdrawn/Discontinued: IBM IoT MessageSight and IBM Watson IoT Platform – Message Gateway

It is rather odd since IBM has refused to fully support MQTT in IBM […]

I have been doing a lot of a testing of various messages types (i.e. Fixed-width, CSV, XML, JSON, PDF, PNG, JPG, etc.). I’ll post the results in the next blog posting.
