It uses strptime internally which seems pretty inconsistent across platforms.
%z is technically not a valid format specifier, but glibc and some other libs
support it. E.g. your examples actually all work on OS X 10.7. But they fail
completely on NetBSD 5.1. You didn't mention your platform
Hi,
string-time from the posix egg doesn't seem to be able to parse
timezones with an offset greater than 12 hours from UTC:
-
#;63 (define x (cut string-time %a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z))
#;64 (x Fri, 02 Nov 2012 04:12:23 -1300)
#f
#;65 (x Fri, 02 Nov 2012 04:12:23 -1200)
#(23 12 4 2 10 112 5
