Good day My name is Naveed and I have some query regarding the TZ database, is it possible to query the timezone database maintained by IANA or any other possible solution to have a local copy of the same at our own premises, we have to integrate with our in-house application with timezone information.
tzdist is a working group of IANA currently trying to formalise an API to allow TZ data to be supplied as a service. There are demo servers but nothing has been formally published yet. There is a bit of a sticking point at the moment as to whether the service needs to worry about the 'version' of TZ data served up, and the original draft simply assumed that the latest version of TZ is all that is needed, but I have a problem with that since material published today using today's version of TZ may be broken if a later version is used without any means of identifying the fact. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
