HttpServer Tool

QuickFIX/n provides a simple HttpServer that can be used to observe and manage certain aspects of the Sessions as defined in your settings file.

Warning: Use at your own risk. This might be better considered as a demo or educational tool. We don’t recommend using it as a management tool for a production system.

It is simple to create and run:

# This should be in the same block that
#   instantiates & starts your initiator or acceptor

HttpServer srv = new HttpServer(
    "http://127.0.0.1:5080", sessionSettings);
srv.Start();

By pointing a browser to the site that it publishes, you can observe your sessions, examine current sequence numbers and logon status, and review/toggle/adjust many session settings.

For an example of an app that uses it, see the “Executor” project in the Examples folder.
