RabbitMQ / AMQP: single queue, multiple consumers for same message and page refresh.

rabbit.on('ready', function () {    });
    sockjs_chat.on('connection', function (conn) {

        conn.on('data', function (message) {
            try {
                var obj = JSON.parse(message.replace(/\r/g, '').replace(/\n/g, ''));

                if (obj.header == "register") {

                    // Connect to RabbitMQ
                    try {
                        conn.exchange = rabbit.exchange(exchange, { type: 'topic',
                            autoDelete: false,
                            durable: false,
                            exclusive: false,
                            confirm: true
                        });

                        conn.q = rabbit.queue('my-queue-'+obj.agentID, {
                            durable: false,
                            autoDelete: false,
                            exclusive: false
                        }, function () {
                            conn.channel = 'my-queue-'+obj.agentID;
                            conn.q.bind(conn.exchange, conn.channel);

                            conn.q.subscribe(function (message) {
                                console.log("[MSG] ---> " + JSON.stringify(message));
                                conn.write(JSON.stringify(message) + "\n");
                            }).addCallback(function(ok) {
                                ctag[conn.channel] = ok.consumerTag; });
                        });
                    } catch (err) {
                        console.log("Could not create connection to RabbitMQ. \nStack trace -->" + err.stack);
                    }

                } else if (obj.header == "typing") {

                    var reply = {
                        type: 'chatMsg',
                        msg: utils.escp(obj.msga),
                        visitorNick: obj.channel,
                        customField1: '',
                        time: utils.getDateTime(),
                        channel: obj.channel
                    };

                    conn.exchange.publish('my-queue-'+obj.agentID, reply);
                }

            } catch (err) {
                console.log("ERROR ----> " + err.stack);
            }
        });

        // When the visitor closes or reloads a page we need to unbind from RabbitMQ?
        conn.on('close', function () {
            try {

                // Close the socket
                conn.close();

                // Close RabbitMQ           
               conn.q.unsubscribe(ctag[conn.channel]);

            } catch (er) {
                console.log(":::::::: EXCEPTION SOCKJS (ON-CLOSE) ::::::::>>>>>>> " + er.stack);
            }
        });
    });
