TCPServer is abstract class, so you should make you own derived class, and override single method createClient, wich will return single connection instance. Example:
https://github.com/anakod/Sming/blob/ma ... er.cpp#L33

For request time you can use HTTP request and ask it from Google, please look at MeteoControl example, it's very simple:
https://github.com/anakod/Sming/blob/ma ... n.cpp#L159

This example contains web-syncronized clock with web configuration interface (to adjust timezone).

Just something to think about .

The framework has (for me) a steep initial learning curve : I have trouble getting the "bare tcpserver" working.
Is there (or can someone make) a simple example in wich
- one can initiate by TServer.listen(port).
- accept an incoming tcprequest
- have an onreceive (maybe just call debugf() with the incoming data)
- have an send
- closes when the other side closes the connection
