Bernd Watermann created HTTPCLIENT-2319:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: DateUtils.parseStandardDate() throws exception instead of
returning null
Key: HTTPCLIENT-2319
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2319
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HttpClient (classic)
Affects Versions: 5.3.1
Reporter: Bernd Watermann
The following line of code
{code:java}
org.apache.hc.client5.http.utils.DateUtils.parseStandardDate("Thu Feb 22
17:20:18 2024");{code}
throws an exception with the following stack trace:
{noformat}
java.time.DateTimeException: Unable to obtain Instant from TemporalAccessor:
{},ISO resolved to 2024-02-22T17:20:18 of type java.time.format.Parsed
at java.base/java.time.Instant.from(Instant.java:380)
at org.apache.hc.client5.http.utils.DateUtils.parseDate(DateUtils.java:165)
at
org.apache.hc.client5.http.utils.DateUtils.parseStandardDate(DateUtils.java:183){noformat}
The documentation for parseStandardDate(), however, says:
??Returns: the parsed instant or null if input could not be parsed??
Throwing an exception does not seem to conform to that spec.
Note that I don't care (at present) if the given string should actually be
parseable or not. The primary issue is error handling and the fact that any
error should lead to a null result and not to an exception being thrown.
