GMT uses "yyy-mm-ddT[hh:mm:ss] (Gregorian) or yyyy-Www-ddT[hh:mm:ss] (ISO)"

It would be nice to use the same.

Folks,

The OGRFeature::GetFieldAsString returns date/time fields formatted in non-standard way. For example date is output as "year/month/day" as more usual "year-month-day". This causes problems in many programs.

I suggest adding a new config option OGR_DATE_FORMAT, which, if set, would make the method return date/time formatted according to it. I suggest that we use the strftime and its format argument as the target for the new option.

The implementation is complicated a bit when milliseconds and timezones are involved since they are not included in the struct tm used by strftime. I suggest that we assume seconds are formatted as :\d\d in the format and simply add milliseconds (as .\d\d\d) and timezone (as [+-]\d\d(:\d\d)), if they exists, after the second.

Do you think this needs a RFC?

I'm willing to implement the changes.

Ari
