-----------------------------------------
Hi [~kishorekumar]:
First, I tried this and it didn't work: I got null.
{code}
<%=variableContext.getParameter("client_timezone_offset")%>
{code}
How do I access this parameter?
Second, I prefer a valid timezone -- not just offset in minutes from UTC. I
might be able to use the offset in minutes by converting it to a timezone
specifier of the format: "UTC+hh:mm", but if you have access to the actual
timezone specifier for the client computer (e.g. "Americas/New_York") that's
best.

> Environment: tomcat-7.0.72.B.RELEASE, Linux , JAVA_VERSION="1.8.0_112"

> I am having issues with timezones in Manifoldcf.
> 1. The simple history always shows the time as UTC time. The sever time is
> correctly set to "EST" however all simple history is shown in UTC.
> looks like the timezone is hardcoded to UTC in simplereport.jsp:
> https://github.com/apache/manifoldcf/blob/release-2.6-branch/framework/crawler-ui/src/main/webapp/simplereport.jsp
> Is there a workaround for this?
> 2. When I add a timezone to the schedule object of a job through the rest API
> it works correctly for timezone "America/New_York". However if I change the
> time in the UI it doesn't pick up the server time instead it defaults to UTC.
> Result all job schedules always run off UTC time when changed from manifold
> UI.
