| I'm trying to instrument an application with the ability to obtain the official time from NIST ("time-b.nist.gov:13"). I appear to be making the connection ok but I'm not receiving any data from the server.
According to RFC-867 One daytime service is defined as a connection based application on TCP. A server listens for TCP connections on TCP port 13. Once a connection is established the current date and time is sent out the connection as a ascii character string (and any data received is thrown away). The service closes the connection after sending the quote.
I was wondering if anyone could help me with some code that can do this.
