What's that code ? A lot of references to google which have nothing to do with worldtimeserver.

Why do you want to get time from a web server at all ? GMT time is provided directly in MQL with TimeGMT().

string strUrl;
   string headers,ret;  
   char post[],result[];
   int res, timeout=5000;
   
   strUrl= "https://www.worldtimeserver.com/"; 
   
   res=WebRequest("GET",strUrl,cookie,NULL,timeout,post,0,result,headers); 
   if (res < 0) { 
        Alert("Web-Error: ",GetLastError()," (4060 ERR_FUNCTION_NOT_CONFIRMED/Url not allowed)" );
        return("");
   } 
   ret = CharArrayToString(result,0,-1);  
   return(ret);
}
