As part of https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?
id=16521, we currently accept dates that are trailed by extra
characters without complaining. The following patch marks such
dates as APR_DATE_BAD. Does this patch make sense?
No, we don't complain because some clients send dates with extra
junk on the end, like Netscape did with the ugly ;len=size crap
on the end of an IMS field.
That was my gut feel, which is why I asked - if we've managed to get
as far as gleaning a date from the string, that should be good enough.
I'll mark that part as wontfix.
