[systemd-devel] Time synchronization over HTTP?

Hi there,

I had a quick look at
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/tree/master/src/timesync to try work
out if /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd had some sort of fallback if
ntp UDP port 123 traffic is blocked.

This happens all too often with my deployments of Webconverger and I was
wondering if asking for HTTP based time synchronization was a sane thing
to ask for from systemd.

An example implementation can be found here:

Many thanks,
