quoting from HTTP 1.1 bis
Prior to 1995, there were three different formats commonly used by
servers to communicate timestamps. For compatibility with old
implementations, all three are defined here. The preferred format is
a fixed-length and single-zone subset of the date and time
specification used by the Internet Message Format [RFC5322].
HTTP-date = IMF-fixdate / obs-date
An example of the preferred format is
Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT ; IMF-fixdate
Examples of the two obsolete formats are
Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT ; obsolete RFC 850 format
Sun Nov 6 08:49:37 1994 ; ANSI C's asctime() format
A recipient that parses a timestamp value in an HTTP header field
MUST accept all three formats. A sender MUST generate the IMF-
fixdate format when sending an HTTP-date value in a header field.
What http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler.date_time_string is currently doing
>>> import time
>>> timestamp = time.time()
>>> weekdayname = ['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat', 'Sun']
>>> monthname = [None,'Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun','Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
>>> year, month, day, hh, mm, ss, wd, y, z = time.gmtime(timestamp)
>>> s = "%s, %02d %3s %4d %02d:%02d:%02d GMT" % (weekdayname[wd],day, monthname[month], year,hh, mm, ss)
>>> s
'Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:26:34 GMT'
what email.utils.formatdate is doing:
>>> import email.utils
>>> email.utils.formatdate(timeval=None,localtime=False, usegmt=True)
'Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:40:04 GMT'
>>> import time
>>> ts = time.time()
>>> email.utils.formatdate(timeval=ts,localtime=False, usegmt=True)
'Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:51:50 GMT'
I createad a patch
s = email.utils.formatdate(timestamp, False, True)
I didn't touch the log method which has a different format which is anyway not compatible with email.utils. |
