Synopsis

12         $date_string = 'Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT';
13         $date_parsed = APR::Date::parse_http($date_string);

Description

20       "APR::Socket" provides the Perl interface to APR date manipulating
21       functions.
22

API

24       "APR::Date" provides the following functions and/or methods:
25
26   "parse_http"
27       Parse HTTP date strings
28
29         $date_parsed = parse_http($date_string);
30
31       arg1: $date_string ( string )
32           The date string can be in one of the following formats:
33
34             Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT  ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123
35             Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 850, obsoleted by RFC 1036
36             Sun Nov  6 08:49:37 1994       ; ANSI C's asctime() format
37
38           refer to RFC2616 for the details (GMT is assumed, regardless of the
39           used timezone).
40
41       ret: $date_parsed ( number )
42           the number of microseconds since 1 Jan 1970 GMT, or 0 if out of
43           range or if the date is invalid.
44
45       since: 2.0.00
46
47       Remember to divide the return value by 1_000_000 if you need it in
48       seconds.
49
50   "parse_rfc"
51       Parse a string resembling an RFC 822 date.  It's meant to be lenient in
52       its parsing of dates.  Hence, this will parse a wider range of dates
53       than parse_http().
54
55         $date_parsed = parse_rfc($date_string);
56
57       arg1: $date_string ( string )
58           The date string can be in one of the following formats:
59
60             Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT  ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123
61             Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 850, obsoleted by RFC 1036

64             Sun, 06 Nov 94 08:49:37 GMT    ; RFC 822
65             Sun, 6 Nov 94 08:49:37 GMT     ; RFC 822
66             Sun, 06 Nov 94 08:49 GMT       ; Unknown [drtr\@ast.cam.ac.uk]
