The HTTP Time Protocol (HTP) is used to synchronize a computer's time
with web servers as reference time source. Htpdate will synchronize your
computer's time by extracting timestamps from HTTP headers found
in web servers responses. Htpdate can be used as a daemon, to keep your
computer synchronized.
Accuracy of htpdate is usually better than 0.5 seconds (even better with
multiple servers). Htpdate can also work through http proxy.
===> The following configuration options are available for htpdate-2.0.2:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
SSL=on: SSL protocol support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

- fix service script
For some reason the PID written to the pidfile by htpdate does not match its
actual PID, which renders the standard PID-handling mechanism of rc.subr(8)
useless.
As a solution, depend only on the process name to figure out the PID of the
running process.
NB: the old pidfile has to be removed before starting htpdate. Otherwise,
the program complains about the pidfile already existing (which htpdate
interprets as another instance of htpdate already running).
Also:
- Use %%PREFIX%% to let the ports provide a proper path for the binary.
- Do not specify htpdate_flags in command_args. htpdate_flags are already
passed to the program by rc.subr(8).

- update to 1.2.2
- upstream excepted my patches to remove FreeBSD and Linux
as examples for endpoint webservers for retrieving time.
- this is a purely a documentation update
- improve startup script and allow flags to be tuneable
No need to bump portrevision, as this is not changing
any existing function.

According to the Porter's Handbook (5.12.2.3.) default options must be added to
OPTIONS_DEFINE. This policy has been implemented only recently that's why we
have many ports violating this policy.
This patch adds the default options specified in the Porter's Handbook to
OPTIONS_DEFINE where they are being used. Ports maintained by
gnome@FreeBSD.org, kde@FreeBSD.org and x11@FreeBSD.org have been excluded.

- Add --no-same-permissions to the EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS command.
Tijl Coosemans has been reported an issue that when root is extracting from the
tarball, and the tarball contains world writable files
(sysutils/policykit as an example), there is a chance that the files
gets changed by malicious third parties right after the extraction,
which makes it possible to inject code into the package thus compromise
the system.

Htpdate is an utility to synchronize time using http headers. It can be very
useful in corporate networks, where there is only http proxy, so ntp don't
work.
