Description : daemon to synchronize the local time via HTTP from a webserver
Although ntp is a well defined protocol and there are severel clients
available, you sometimes can't use any of them, for example since the
admin of your firewall is blocking ntp, but surely they don't block
HTTP.
Since Web-Servers are requested to add a timestamp to webpages they
deliver you can extract the specific header and use to synchronize your
local clock. Not perfect, but if you use a nearby, fast webserver it
should be accurate enough for average users.
htpdate can be used either in a "run once, set time" or as a daemon,
which checks the time periodically and synchronizes the local time
smoothly.

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.
As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:
reopen 313595
thanks bts
Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
313595@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.
A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.
Thanks for your cooperation,
-- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
