Getting time from an HttpResponse

[Nuno Magalhaes]

This site:
http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/anim
gives me the date at a specified moment but using HttpRequest and
Response with this server is very bad.

Does anyone knows how to get a high fidelity time in order to get my
trial version software up and running?

Give me some sites please so that I can retrieve an high fidelity time.
With the site given above I only get two httpresponses and nothing more
than that. At the third it does not reply.

Thanks for any help,
Nuno Magalhaes.

If you have surfed to the site you will see that it keeps the connection
open and so you will have problems using HttpRquest

However, it sounds as if you want an NTP time server and to talk to the time
server
