/* <DESC>
 * Set your system time from a remote HTTP server's Date: header.
 * </DESC>
 */
/* This example code only builds as-is on Windows.
 *
 * Synchronising your computer clock via Internet time server usually relies
 * on DAYTIME, TIME, or NTP protocols. These protocols provide good accurate
 * time synchronization but it does not work 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 an 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 sets 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 synchronises your computer clock only when you issue
 * it with --synctime. By default, it only display the webserver's clock.
