+ * $Id$
+ *
+ * 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 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.
+ *
+ * References:
+ * http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/service/its.htm
+ * http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/service/firewall.htm
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ * This software will synchronise your computer clock only when you issue
+ * it with --synctime. By default, it only display the webserver's clock.
