DEVELOPMENT ISSUE #47 - Deprecate the QUIT message
Reported by	Luke Kolin (DVA043) on 07/09/2005 22:06 ET
Assigned To	Luke Kolin (DVA043)
Issue Status	Fixed on 07/10/2005 11:08 ET
Issue Priority	Medium
Airlines	Air France Virtual, Delta Virtual Airlines
Security	Public
Area	ACARS
Issue Type	Enhancement
Target Version	1.0
Issue Description	The QUIT message should not be considered an authoritative indication that a user has logged off. It should be discarded by the ACARS server immediately upon receipt (and removed from the client). The server automatically tracks when a connection's underlying socket is closed by the client and this should be used to send the DELPILOTS DATARSP message.

Luke Kolin (DVA043) 07/09/2005 22:19 ET	The NetworkHandler thread already maintains a list of dropped connections. We need to create a QuitMessage bean internally in this code, and push it onto the formatted input stack for LogicProcessor to deal with.
Luke Kolin (DVA043) 07/09/2005 22:34 ET	The change has been made. I will test 0.40 of ACARS to ensure it does a graceful disconnect when flying.
