 z3t reported via HackerOne that the system time zone on Windows can get
 leaked by using ftp://.
 {{{
 When using the ftp:// protocol, directory listings contain timestamps
 converted to the system timezone.. These timestamps can be extracted by a
 script on a same-origin FTP hosted HTML page, allowing detection of a
 user's system timezone.
