                                             ;  hh:mm:ss zzz

day         =  "Mon"/"Tue"/"Wed"/"Thu"/"Fri"/"Sat"/"Sun"

                                             ; e.g. 20 Jun 82

month       = "Jan"/"Feb"/"Mar"/"Apr"/"May"/"Jun"/
               "Jul"/"Aug"/"Sep"/"Oct"/"Nov"/"Dec"

time        =  hour zone                    ; ANSI and Military

            /  "CST" / "CDT"                ;  Central:  - 6/ - 5
            /  "MST" / "MDT"                ;  Mountain: - 7/ - 6
            /  "PST" / "PDT"                ;  Pacific:  - 8/ - 7
            /  1ALPHA                       ; Military: Z = UT;
                                            ;  A:-1; (J not used)
                                            ;  M:-12; N:+1; Y:+12
            / ( ("+" / "-") 4DIGIT )        ; Local differential
                                            ;  hours+min. (HHMM)

 

Semantics

 

If included, day-of-week must be the day implied by the date specification. 

Time zone may be indicated in several ways. "UT" is Universal Time (formerly called "Greenwich Mean Time"); "GMT" is permitted as a reference to Universal Time. 

The military standard uses a single character for each zone. "Z" is Universal Time. "A" indicates one hour earlier, and "M" indicates 12 hours ear lier; "N" is one hour later, and "Y" is 12 hours later. The letter "J" is not used. 

The other remaining two forms are taken from ANSI standard X3.51-1975. One allows explicit indication of the amount of offset from UT; the other uses common 3-character strings for indicating time zones in North America. 

DateTimeGMTToHttpStr generates the date and time format used in request and response headers for the HTTP protocol.
