[Quickfix-developers] Unexplained TEST Message From Server

[Jon D. <jd...@wi...>]

We're using QF 1.9.2 with a HeatBeatInt=15

We had the following happen today in production:

incoming:
8=FIX.4.29=6235=034=170449=UNG531N52=20041207-19:48:07.20356=LDFIXGWY110=223

event:
20041207-19:48:59 : Sent test request TEST
20041207-19:49:13 : Dropped Connection

Why would the server send out a TEST request when it received a HeartBeat
message 7 seconds earlier?

Or am I missing something here?
