[Quickfix-users] QF 1.13.3 reconnection routine problem

[Francis G. <fr...@at...>]

Hi all,

I have been using QF for years in various projects and I think a particular scenario is not handled well by the ThreadedSocketInitiator connection routine in the 1.13.3 .NET release.   There was a router error at destination for a while and we could not establish a connection. I usually rely on QF to reconnect until successful but this time it did not work.

The issue appears to be QF does not recover from a broken session. Does anyone have a suggestion to detect broken sessions and reinitialize them?

<and on like this every 30 seconds for hours>
 
-->at 09:52:51 I restarted the server and the connection was instantly successful. It is impossible that I happened  to restart the server at the exact time they fixed their router problem (in fact they confirm it was fixed around 6AM)
