## Notes

- **HTTP only**: the post's IPS Web Tracking server answers plain `http://` only and can take several seconds.
- **Event names**: the IPS English names are shown as they are (`Deliver item (Inb)`). The `Country` column is added to the location.
- **Time zone**: each time is local to the event's country; events in Burkina Faso (UTC+0, no DST) get a `timestamp`, others only `localTime`.
