Both the "setDateHeader()" and "getDateHeader()" methods use the default SimpleDateFormat constructor which in turn uses the default locale. This results in ApJServ writing or looking for localized Day/Month abbreviations (the rest is fine) while the HTTP Date headers use only English. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: The locale used in SimpleDateFormat() should be specified explicitly: > new SimpleDateFormat(<whatever>, Locale.US) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
