I need to get the current time from one of internet time server in my desktop application. I suppose I need something like a request string and a regular expression to get time from any site that user wants (may be with several predefined sites).
Or may be there are some free libraries exist?
Thanks.
This is what the Network Time Protocol was built for. But it’s probably something best left to your operating system, lest you end up with duelling applications using different, not-quite-synchronised servers.
See the headings in the link above for UNIX and Windows implementations.
