But what time zone are you getting? The time zone of the browser? The time zone of the proxy cache that's in a possibly different time zone that the browser is forced to use? The time zone of the corporate firewall that lives in a different zone to the browser? A multinational corporate firewall where all traffic is VPN'd back to a single internet gateway to permit traffic control (and before you say this doesn't happen, I know of at least two or three Australian government departments that do this - one on a national basis which means it crosses multiple time zones). The only sure way to get a country is to ask the browser for it. ...and even then they might lie... CYA, Dave
