But you are still using a wrong date format. There are three formats allo=
wed:
RFC 822: Mon, 07 Oct 1996 16:00:00 GMT
RFC 850: Monday, 07-Oct-96 16:00:00 GMT
asctime() format: Mon Oct 7 16:00:00 1996
All clients and server MUST accept all three formats, but should generate=
only the first one.
Try to use one of these formats and see what happens.
