The problem I was referring to was not about printing to the console. I hadn't
thought about that, I agree the default locale should be used there. I was
referring to `Last-modified` HTTP headers with a non-English date value, e.g.:
Last-modified: Di., 21 Sep. 2021 09:56:53 GMT
I think browsers will get confused by this. It probably isn't a big deal since
I think the server doesn't implement conditional GETs (i.e. use the
last-modified date in subsequent requests), but the HTTP spec is [quite strict
][1] about date formats.
