Hmm, which would be the current (!) server time in the correct format. We might need to define some epsilon time which is still acceptable or so. ... it's probably cheaper to keep it as it is right now ;-) nd -- Winnetous Erbe: http://pub.perlig.de/books.html#apache2

Hmm, I'm actually wondering why. And which ones would that be?
