> It appears that the time zone for outgoing date values is always the local
> time zone of the server. This has recently caused a problem for me when I
> was creating some example XML-RPC programs for a class for which I am the
> teaching assistant. For my examples I created a Java client and server using
> the Apache XML-RPC library, as well as a C++ client and server using the
> xmlrpc-c library. The servers simply sent back a date value when their RPC
> handlers were invoked. The problem occurred when using the C++ client with
> the Java server or the Java client with the C++ server because the Apache
> library uses the local time zone, but the xmlrpc-c library uses UTC. I
> realize that the XML-RPC spec specifically states that the time zone cannot
> be assumed and that this library mixing scenario is probably not too common.
> However, I think that it would be a good enhancement to allow users to
> specify the time zone for outgoing date values as they can for incoming date
> values. An alternate solution would be to use UTC instead of the local time
> zone, and then the clients could convert the date values to their local time
> zone if desired.
