[drakma-devel] Two problems with cookies expiry dates format
Hello, I've run into 2 formats that parse-cookie-date can't currently handle: - the first one looks like this: "Sun, 18 Jun 2006 04:01:09 GMT-07:00" I presume it means GMT minus 7 hours. - the second one is almost one of the recognized formats, except that it says PDT (Pacific Daylight Time AFAIK) instead of GMT. Note that I have no idea if these formats are standard or not. I just ran into them... -- Didier Verna, didier@lrde.epita.fr, http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~didier EPITA / LRDE, 14-16 rue Voltaire Tel.+33 (1) 44 08 01 85 94276 Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France Fax.+33 (1) 53 14 59 22 didier@xemacs.org

Thanks for the report. I'll take care of this once I'm back home from Boston.

I think that, sadly, there's no real standard for this as I've seen so many different formats used already. My impression is that you have to wait until you catch some new format in the wild and then try to integrate it.

The latest release 0.8.0 should hopefully be able to parse these dates correctly. Note that I've also added a special variable so you can allow Drakma to fail when parsing cookie dates. Still, I'd prefer if people would report any date format Drakma can't parse to this mailing list. Thanks for the report, Edi.
