FTPTimestampParserImpl#parseTimeStamp() is not fully testable
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: NET-198
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-198
             Project: Commons Net
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sebb


The FTPTimestampParserImpl#parseTimeStamp() method is not fully testable, 
because it unconditionally creates Calendar items using the current time.

In order to test for leap years and DST, the test code needs to be able to set 
arbitrary times.

I suggest adding a package-private method that takes an additional Calendar 
parameter, as follows:

        Calendar parseTimestamp(String timestampStr, Calendar now) throws 
ParseException {
        // etc

This would replace the original code; the public interface would delegate to 
the package-private method:

        public Calendar parseTimestamp(String timestampStr) throws 
ParseException {
                Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
                return parseTimestamp(timestampStr, now);
        }

Patch to follow.
