A RSS trial. The header names are case-insensitive, see: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html section 4.2. The dates you show are valid as per http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html section 3.3.1. The second date format is in common use but obsolete so it probably should not be used in new applications, but according to the RFC, in any case, "HTTP/1.1 clients and servers that parse the date value MUST accept all three formats" and those three formats include the two you show above. So can you specifically tell us what the problem is with the above headers, and which HTTP server doesn't accept it as valid? Also, please force yourself to write a proper bug report. You don't say what you expected to happen, what actually happened (instead you ask us to guess which one is from Gnus), and what you did to make the bug occur. Ted
