Re^2: Converting timestamp to RSS pubDate

in thread Converting timestamp to RSS pubDate

Thanks. This sort of worked but here what's weird. In the HTML code this was printed:

If I look at the RSS Feed in Firefox or IE it reads this:

Monday, November 03, 2008 4:37 PM

I have no idea why. Any ideas? The 4:37 should read 9:37 shouldn't it? Also, the server is EST and it's only 8:37 there now so somewhere I'm gaining an hour.

Why don't you just fiddle with the `<pubDate>Mon, 03 Nov 2008 21:37:50 EST</pubDate>` value until Firefox/IE is showing the correct date? Try time zones other than EST (maybe it's expecting GMT, as would've been output by HTTP::Date), increment/decrement the hour, etc. Shouldn't be too hard to eventually figure out how Firefox is interpreting the pubDate value...
