> QuoteTracker contains a built in Web (HTTP protocol) API server that
responds to a certain set of commands so that external programs can extract
information from it while it is running. The server is bound to address
127.0.0.1 (local computer) only - this way any information that is received
from QuoteTracker does not fall under the "redistribution" heading and we
avoid legal troubles from data providers or from the exchanges.
>
> The QuoteTracker's Web server monitors port 16239. You can change that by
putting another port # into the STOCKS.INI file (located in your
QuoteTracker folder) under the [QTServer] section along with the setting to
turn the WebServer on:
>

> [QTServer]
> Active=YES
> PORT=3939

> Note: PORT is optional and can be any number. If not specified, it is
16239. You may need to add the [QTServer] section yourself to the
STOCKS.INI file if it's not already there. The YES (after ACTIVE=) has to
be capitalized.
