I’m currently using my own web service to get the time. The page sends an ajax request and receives a json string that contains the current date and time.
I’ve looked around on the web and I’m found other servers that allow for a jsonp request to get the time but I don’t know how reliable they really are.
Is there a reliable and free service to retrieve the current time that you can recommend?
Thanks.
Simply ensure that your server’s clock is accurate. Then you can easily write a small script that gives you the UTC time which you can then use to get the time for any timezone. You could even make the script accept an argument to give you the time in a given timezone instead of UTC.
