Ciao,
I encountered some problems with strptime function.
I don't understand why my configure script detects strptime function, but
compiler does not the same ... :-(
I include <time.h> as man pages suggest ... I overpass it by calling
Htstrptime function included in file strptime.c of htlib.
Another problem: when using strptime, struct tm value is always stored in a
localtime format. And so when I store a GM value, the coinversion comes ...
Here are some results (give a look at the Test static method):
This is for %Y.%m.%d %H:%M:%S format (without timezone):
Parsing date string 1970.01.01 00:00:00 - format %Y.%m.%d %H:%M:%S
Local - Date Time n. 1 : Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 CET
GM - Date Time n. 1 : Wed, 31 Dec 1969 23:00:00 GMT
Struct TM fields
================
tm_sec : 0
tm_min : 0
tm_hour : 23
tm_mday : 31
tm_mon : 11
tm_year : 69
tm_wday : 3
tm_yday : 364
tm_isdst : 0
...
This is for ISO8601 format. Look at how I tried to set different timezones,
but results are not as I hoped (former GMT, then CET):

Well, let me know ...
Have a nice week end.
