/* <DESC>
 * Set your system time from a remote HTTP server's Date: header.

/* This example code only builds as-is on Windows.
 *
 * While Unix/Linux user, you do not need this software.
 * You can achieve the same result as synctime using curl, awk and date.
 * Set proxy as according to your network, but beware of proxy Cache-Control.
 *
 * To set your system clock, root access is required.
 * # date -s "`curl -sI https://nist.time.gov/timezone.cgi?UTC/s/0 \
 *        | awk -F': ' '/Date: / {print $2}'`"
 *
 * To view remote webserver date and time.
 * $ curl -sI https://nist.time.gov/timezone.cgi?UTC/s/0 \
 *        | awk -F': ' '/Date: / {print $2}'
 *
 * Synchronising your computer clock via Internet time server usually relies
 * on DAYTIME, TIME, or NTP protocols. These protocols provide good accurate
 * time synchronisation but it does not work very well through a
 * firewall/proxy. Some adjustment has to be made to the firewall/proxy for
 * these protocols to work properly.
 *
 * There is an indirect method. Since most webserver provide server time in
 * their HTTP header, therefore you could synchronise your computer clock
 * using HTTP protocol which has no problem with firewall/proxy.
 *
 * For this software to work, you should take note of these items.
 * 1. Your firewall/proxy must allow your computer to surf internet.
 * 2. Webserver system time must in sync with the NTP time server,
 *    or at least provide an accurate time keeping.
 * 3. Webserver HTTP header does not provide the milliseconds units,
 *    so there is no way to get very accurate time.
 * 4. This software could only provide an accuracy of +- a few seconds,
 *    as Round-Trip delay time is not taken into consideration.
 *    Compensation of network, firewall/proxy delay cannot be simply divide
 *    the Round-Trip delay time by half.
 * 5. Win32 SetSystemTime() API will set your computer clock according to
 *    GMT/UTC time. Therefore your computer timezone must be properly set.
 * 6. Webserver data should not be cached by the proxy server. Some
 *    webserver provide Cache-Control to prevent caching.

 *
 * Usage:
 * This software will synchronise your computer clock only when you issue
 * it with --synctime. By default, it only display the webserver's clock.
