Specify the URL, IP address or the hostname of a HTTPS server to |

provide a constraint. |

will connect to the server and retrieve the remote time from the |

header. |
|
|
|
This time will be used as a constraint on time synchronization; |
|
|
|
received NTP packets with time information that is more than a few |

minutes off will be discarded and the NTP |
