The HTTP Time Protocol (HTP) is used to synchronize a computer's time with
web servers as reference time source. This program can be used in networks
that has a firewall blocking the NTP port.
.
Htp will synchronize your computer's time to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), via
HTTP headers from web servers. The htpdate package includes a program for
retrieving the date and time from remote machines via a network.

Htpdate works through proxy servers. Accuracy of htpdate will be usually
within 0.5 seconds (better with multiple servers).
