It should read something like:
Date: 11 Feb 2008 15:42:09 CET
A more complete specification for the date syntax can be found in RFC 2822 (the
Internet
message format standard). In summary, it allows for:
* optional day-of-the-week (3 character) followed by a comma
* 1 or 2 digit day number
* 3 character month name
* 4 digit year (although it allows for the obsolete 2 digit year
form)
* 2 digits each of hour, minute and seconds, separated by ":"
* Timezone expressed as + or - followed by 4 digits (although it
allows for a range of obsolete codes including 3 character
codes like CET)
What it doesn't permit is the "-" between the date elements that you
have identified above.
