NAME

APR::Date - Perl API for XXX

Synopsis

use APR::Date ();

META: to be completed

Description

META: to be completed

API

APR::Date provides the following functions and/or methods:

parse_http

META: Autogenerated - needs to be reviewed/completed

Parses an HTTP date in one of three standard forms:

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

$ret = parse_http($date);
arg1: $date (string)

The date in one of the three formats above

ret: $ret (number)

the apr_time_t number of microseconds since 1 Jan 1970 GMT, or 0 if this would be out of range or if the date is invalid.

parse_rfc

META: Autogenerated - needs to be reviewed/completed

Parses a string resembling an RFC 822 date. This is meant to be leinent in its parsing of dates. Hence, this will parse a wider range of dates than apr_date_parse_http.

The prominent mailer (or poster, if mailer is unknown) that has been seen in the wild is included for the unknown 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
Sun, 6 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT   ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123
Sun, 06 Nov 94 08:49:37 GMT    ; RFC 822

$ret = parse_rfc($date);
arg1: $date (string)

The date in one of the formats above

ret: $ret (number)

the apr_time_t number of microseconds since 1 Jan 1970 GMT, or 0 if this would be out of range or if the date is invalid.
