Darren Hague commented on HTTPCLIENT-1530:
------------------------------------------
The fix for this issue is to add PATTERN_RFC1123_NUMERIC_OFFSET as follows:
{code}
/**
* Date format pattern used to parse HTTP date headers in RFC 1123 format.
*/
public static final String PATTERN_RFC1123 = "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss
zzz";
public static final String PATTERN_RFC1123_NUMERIC_OFFSET = "EEE, dd MMM
yyyy HH:mm:ss Z";
/**
* Date format pattern used to parse HTTP date headers in RFC 1036 format.
*/
public static final String PATTERN_RFC1036 = "EEE, dd-MMM-yy HH:mm:ss zzz";
/**
* Date format pattern used to parse HTTP date headers in ANSI C
* <code>asctime()</code> format.
*/
public static final String PATTERN_ASCTIME = "EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss yyyy";
private static final String[] DEFAULT_PATTERNS = new String[] {
PATTERN_RFC1123,
PATTERN_RFC1123_NUMERIC_OFFSET ,
PATTERN_RFC1036,
PATTERN_ASCTIME
};
{code}
> DateUtils.parseDate not fully compliant with RFC 1123

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1530
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1530
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.3.4
> Reporter: Darren Hague
>
> RFC-1123 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1123.txt ) says:
> There is a strong trend towards the use of numeric timezone
> indicators, and implementations SHOULD use numeric timezones
> instead of timezone names. However, all implementations MUST
> accept either notation. If timezone names are used, they MUST
> be exactly as defined in RFC-822.
> Ruby on Rails v4 issues cookies with a numeric timezone in the expiry date.
> DateUtils.parseDate() is used by HtmlUnit to parse the expiry date of cookies.
> This bug means that HtmlUnit does not correctly deal with cookie expiration
> when talking to a Ruby on Rails application.
