Time zone negotiation in a client-server communication architecture

摘要

A method, system, and software associated with a client-server communication architecture in which there is a server and one or more clients. A client of the one or more clients communicates the client's time zone value to the server over a communication path and during a communication-session between the client and the server. The time-zone value is so communicated through options negotiations between the client and the server. The negotiated time-zone value is stored in a storage area of a computer system that includes the server.
