The first two can be handled by 'parse-header-date, but not the third.

>> testdate: "Tue, 22 Feb 2000 15:33:09 GMT"
== "Tue, 22 Feb 2000 15:33:09 GMT"
>> print parse-header-date testdate
22-Feb-2000/15:33:09

You can get the day of week this way:

days: ["Mon" "Tue" "Wed" "Thu" "Fri" "Sat" "Sun"]
probe pick days testdate/weekday
