Get client's timezone offset in ExpressJS

If you control the client, you can do this with client-side JavaScript.

If you don't (e.g. you're building a server-side component like an API), then you can't pull it out of the HTTP request (unless you're using sessions, but even that's not necessarily reliable).

On the upside, if it's only server-side, you shouldn't worry about it either: set all your date objects as UTC or a Unix timestamp and leave it to the client developer to handle timezones.
