TIdQOTDUDP = class(TIdUDPClient)

TIdQOTDUDP implements a UDP-based Quote of the Day Protocol (QUOTD) client as described in the Internet Standards document:

• RFC 865 - Quote of the Day Protocol (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc865.txt)

QUOTD is a simple protocol for retrieving a short quote from a server.

Port number used for the connection to a QOTD host.

property Port: Integer;

Port is an Integer property that represents the port number used in a connection to a QOTD host. Port is redefined in TIdQOTD to specify the default value for the property as required by the QOTD protocol (IdPORT_QOTD).

Connects and retrieves a quote from the QOTD server.

property Quote: String;

Quote is a read-only String property that queries the Quote of the Day server and retrieves a quote.

Be sure to set the Host property to the Quote of the Day server before calling Quote.

Constructor for the object instance.

constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent); override;

Owner of the object instance.

Create is the constructor for the object instance that instantiates a new TIdQOTDUDP component and sets the default port to the standard port number used for the Quote of the Day protocol (IdPORT_QOTD).
