Yes, you are "able" to get that information, but you have to write a small php script which does return that information to your application on request.

What PHP function you need can easily be found on the net. If you want to use the time / date in Unity it might be a good idea to pick a format of the date / time string that the .NET DateTime type can read in.

I don't know if there is a unity want to do this or not. If there isn't then you'll probably want to look at building a plugin: http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/webgl-interactingwithbrowserscripting.html

I guess it could make sense to let a Javascript script handle it.
