Ideally, tzcode would include a reference implementation of an RFC 7808 "Time Zone Data Server". Wasn't such a reference implementation created by the tzdist group?
The test server that I found most-recently discussed in the tzdist archive was operated at CMU. I don't know the details (perhaps Tim does?) but I expect it was based on Cyrus IMAP, which uses vzic to convert from tz format.
Although I am, in fact, now at Carnegie Mellon University, I wasn't involved with the tzdist demo server. That was Ken Murchison's doing.
Yes, I am to blame. Its bundled with our CalDAV/CardDAV server which is part of Cyrus IMAP. It would be non-trivial to make it a standalone service. The folks that work on Bedework (namely Mike Douglass) may have something that can operate as an applet within Apache. -- Kenneth Murchison Principal Systems Software Engineer Carnegie Mellon University
