RE: [Quickfix-developers] Intermittent disconnect problem

[<or...@qu...>]

Barry,

For every disconnect that QuickFIX initiates, there should be a reason
provided (not with 1.4.0, but with the new releases).  With 1.9.4
(available now), QuickFIX also displays a "Dropped Connection" message
if the disconnect is initiated by the peer (1.9.2, does not
differentiate).  That should help you to verify if it is QuickFIX that
is initiating the disconnect.  I don't think there are any more cases
where QuickFIX initiates a disconnect without providing a reason.  If
the couterparty drops the connection, then unless they provide
information in the form of a reject or logoff text, there is little
QuickFIX can do to determine the cause.  The best that we can probably
do is report whether the socket was dropped gracefully, and therefore
intentionally, or if it was an abnormal disconnect of some sort.

Is there anything significantly different about this new client?  Does
their logs reveal anything about the nature of the disconnect?
