TInternetDate Class Reference

class TInternetDate

Stores dates in universal time and provides parsing of internet style dates into TDateTime and RFC 1123 (updates RFC 822) dates.

Supports parsing of the following date formats: Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123 Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 850, obsoleted by RFC 1036 Sun Nov 6 08:49:37 1994 ; ANSI C's asctime() format

In case of Date Formats with offsets "Mon, 21 Jan 2002 23:00:00 +0210" , equivalent time in UTC can be determined by substracting the offset from the local time (RFC 3339).

All dates are store relative to Universal Time and not local time.
