I can't help with the problem at hand, but I also don't see the
reason to do it.  Why not just access an NTP server and grab the
time the "proper" way?  Using a web page is a roundabout way of
doing it.  There's a nice setclock.py script which Google can
point you to which does the job much more easily.
