I'm using version 3.1.6
I made the change to line 1142 and tested and then saw line 1127 with
a similar construct so changed that too. The result:
UW PICO(tm) 2.3 File: Retriever.cc
while (*s == '-' || isspace(*s))
s++;
// get year...
if (!isdigit(*s))
return 0;
year = 0;
while (isdigit(*s))
year = year * 10 + (*s++ - '0');
if (year < 69)
year += 2000;
else if (year < 1900)
year += 1900;
else if (year >= 19100) // seen some programs do it, why not check?
year -= (19100-2000);
// while (isspace(*s)) // original line 1142
while (*s == '-' || isspace(*s))
s++;
[ line 1127 of 1670 (67%), character 29056 of 41783 (69%) ]
I then did a ./configure, make and sudo make install (the sudo was
needed to set permissions properly)
With one or both lines 'patched' I still can't use 1990/01/01 but
1990 01 01 works. I notice that the returned date on the results page
is shown as 12/31/89. Probably a time zone issue. I tried:
<META Name="Date" Content="1990 01 01T12:00:00-6:00">
without effect.
Guess I'll play with the SSI side for a bit using spaces.
Thanks for the help
David
