[Quickfix-developers] invalid message

[H. S. <st...@st...>]

hello,

shouldnt QF silently handle invalid fix messages?
I've done some tests with invalid body lengths. when receiving such a message, the log shows:

"Expected BodyLength=58, Recieved BodyLength=1"

Then, an InvalidMessage exception is thrown which crashes the application. I expected that Session::next already catches it. But the exception is re-thrown in the catch() block. 

I guess such malformed messages should not bother at application level at all. Is that the correct behaviour of QF?


Here goes the trace :

thread(16384):
  at process_sleep(Utility.cpp:373)
thread(16386):N3FIX14InvalidMessageE: Expected BodyLength=58, Recieved BodyLength=1
  at time_gmtime(Utility.cpp:296)

  at SocketConnector::block(SocketConnector.cpp:150)
  at SocketInitiator::onStart(SocketInitiator.cpp:99)
  at Initiator::startThread(Initiator.cpp:211)

Thanks for your help,
