Re: [WEB400] HTTP Server timestamps in log files

[sublime78ska@xxxxxxxxx]

I came across this documentation for RFC822 date fmt
when using the QtmmSendMail api.  It references the
difference between the RFC and POSIX standards.  I got
it at http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-
rfc822.html.

Perhaps it's relevent.

>From the documentation for parsedate_tz(date):
<snip>
...and the tenth is the offset of the date's timezone
from UTC (which is the official term for Greenwich Mean
Time). (Note that the sign of the timezone offset is the
opposite of the sign of the time.timezone variable for
the same timezone; the latter variable follows the POSIX
standard while this module follows RFC 2822.)
