Documentation

formatRFC1123DateTime :: ZonedTime -> String

Format a System.Time.CalendarTime to RFC 1123 Date and Time string.

formatHTTPDateTime :: UTCTime -> String

Format a System.Time.ClockTime to HTTP Date and Time. Time zone will be always UTC but prints as GMT.

parseHTTPDateTime :: ByteString -> Maybe UTCTime

Parse an HTTP Date and Time.

Limitation: RFC 2616 (HTTP/1.1) says we must accept these three formats:

• Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT  ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123

• Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 850, obsoleted by RFC 1036

• Sun Nov  6 08:49:37 1994       ; ANSI C's asctime() format

...but currently this function only supports the RFC 1123 format. This is a violation of RFC 2616 so this should be fixed later. What a bother!
