FYI we have this information locally in libtimezonemap already and an algorithm specified for querying this for ubuntu-system-settings (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate#Choosing_locations - scroll down a bit "Whenever").

I think it might make sense for libtimezonemap to implement this algorithm itself, then the three locations that need it that I know of (two in unity-control-center datetime, one in ubuntu-system-settings) could all call the same API.

Maybe there were good reasons for using the server (such as localised search?) that we don't know about atm. Would need to investigate.
