[Quickfix-developers] modifications to support CME iLink - any interest?

[QM <eqm...@nw...>]

We've recently certified our QuickFIX-based app against CME's iLink /
AutoCert+.  That required a couple of modifications to QuickFIX, notably:

- ability to limit resends to a maximum 2500 messages

- in-session logon: support CME sending a sequence reset response message
of sequence number == 1 (when, by that time, QuickFIX expects that message
to have sequence number == 2)

- ability to suppress outbound admin messages (i.e. to throw DoNotSend from
Application::toAdmin() -- this is another part of our workaround for CME's
in-session logon)


If you'd be interested, we could contribute this code back to the QuickFIX
core in the form of a feature request + patch.

(I'm checking here first, because we'd need to connect all of this to the
config system such that people could enable/disable these features at
will.  Since we know we need them all, we simply left them hard-coded. ;-)

Cheers
