[hunchentoot-devel] Get client's time

Matus,

times on the client and the server in a HTTP connection are not
synchronized, so you could not rely on the time sent by the client anyway.

The server can send its own timestamp when a resource was last modified in
the Last-Modified header, and that timestamp can be used by the client in
subsequent requests to prevent the server from generating and sending the
same content again if it has not been modified (Last-Modified-Since request
header).

Please refer to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616 for a precise description
of these headers and mechanisms.

HTH,
-Hans
