Re: [Quickfix-developers] FIX explicit logon

[Grant B. <gbi...@co...>]

QF does not offer this feature.

QF is intended to handle all the admin-level (e.g. session management)
messages for you, of which Logon is one of those.

If you are writing a testing tool, you probably shouldn't write it with QF
because of that.  My company has an internal FIX test tool that read/writes
messages directly to the socket.  (We wrote it in Ruby, although any
language could do.)  I think this is probably a better approach, especially
if you want to simulate session-level errors like wrong sequence numbers
and such (which QF will not let you set wrong).
