> This actually happens because the time zone of HttpDateFormat's internal SimpleDateFormatter may change when a date is parsed. The next formatting uses the time zone of the last parsed date.
> The usage of "GMT" as time zone is specified in [sec. 7.1.1.1 of RFC 7231|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-7.1.1.1].
