Okay, I just read that method toString() on a Date object is by
specification returning an implementation-dependent string; although
toUTCString() method is implementation-dependent too, it appears better
suited to create a parseable date string if I were to follow Ilkka's
approach.
So I hope you excuse my browser related ranting...
Greetings,
