Jonathan M Davis <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from Jonathan M Davis <[email protected]> --- Hmmm. I don't know. Sure, the RFC 5322 date format is used in a number of internet-related specs, but the way it's parsed is rather specific to those specs. I'm not convinced that Phobos is the right place for it. I do have an implementation of this that's in a library that I've been working on (which implements RFC 5322) that I intend to post within the next couple of months (how soon will depend on how much time I have to work on it), but I am inclined to think that a 3rd party library like that is a better place for it, particularly given the insane amount of muck involved with parsing that format correctly - muck which is specific to RFC 5322 and its related specs. And I certainly wouldn't want to encourage the use of the RFC 5322 format outside of the specs that require it, since it's really a horrible format (much as it's slightly better than what was in the obsoleted RFC 822 - part of the problem being that you still have to parse the really bad stuff from RFC 822 even though it's illegal to create many such strings now with RFC 5322). --
