Get the real date?

[EmuMan44]

I understand that you can use things like CurrentDateTime and FormatTime to output the system date, but is there a way to get the global date from a website or such so the user can't manipulate his system to bypass any date restrictions and such I have in my code? Or does AHK not have any networking compatibility?

you could use urlDownloadToFile and then parse out the text from the html with stringGetPos and stringMid. the simpler the website/html the better since the download will be faster and it might be easy to parse.

I don't know if this will help with what you want, but I thought I'd share it:

GetNetworkTime()
The returned time is UTC.
