RE: [Quickfix-users] Re: Does QuickFix support SSL

[Oren M. <ore...@ya...>]

Take a look at Poppy:

http://www.fixprotocol.org/cgi-bin/Workgroup.cgi?id=960506144

Last link on the page.  This is an open source FIX /
SSL proxy written by Hugh Emberson who now works at
CameronFIX.  I havn't tried it but my understanding is
you would point you're session over to this thing
which will use SSL encoding within the proxy which
connects to your counterparty.  This should make it
appear like a regular SSL encrypted FIX message
requiring no special requirements from your
counterparty.

Doesn't look like it's been updated in a few years,
but from what I can tell it was left in a stable
state.  I think I'll add a link to it from the
QuickFIX site.
