[Quickfix-developers] Bug in processing resend requests?

[Gunnar H. <gh...@hi...>]

Hello all,

We wrote an acceptor type application with QF. Sometimes it accepts a resend request but many times it rejects them, saying that the message is invalid. All are received from the same client and the rejected resend requests are constructed exactly the same way as are the accepted ones. Below are some examples. It looks QF is wrong to reject the first one?

Invalid ResendRequest (according to QuickFIX) examples:

20140121-06:33:31.239 : 8=FIX.4.2^A9=64^A35=2^A49=HIQ4^A56=HIQFIX^A52=20140121-06:33:31^A34=1209^A7=1^A16=2915^A10=153^A
20140121-06:33:31.239 : Received ResendRequest FROM: 1 TO: 2915
20140121-06:33:31.244 : Invalid message: SOH not found at end of field


Accepted ResendRequest example:

20140121-07:07:09.617 : 8=FIX.4.2^A9=64^A35=2^A49=HIQ4^A56=HIQFIX^A52=20140121-07:07:09^A34=1357^A7=1^A16=4143^A10=159^A
20140121-07:07:09.617 : Received ResendRequest FROM: 1 TO: 4143
20140121-07:07:09.624 : Sent SequenceReset TO: 13
20140121-07:07:09.624 : Resending Message: 13
20140121-07:07:09.625 : Resending Message: 14
etc.          


Thank you for your time,

Gunnar

But then I must search in the message string for subsstrings like 35=X which is a waste of time since in FIX::Session send methods is available the MsgType.
