           Summary: httpclient-dev@jakarta.apache.org
           Product: HttpClient
           Version: 3.0 RC2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Commons HttpClient
        AssignedTo: httpclient-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: fred.bierhaus@vodafone.com


DateUtil.formatDate() uses default timezone instead of GMT.  In section 3.3.1,
RFC 2616 states:  "All HTTP date/time stamps MUST be represented in Greenwich
Mean Time (GMT), without exception."

To reproduce, run the following snippet:

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT");
      GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar(tz);
      gc.set(1900 + 104, GregorianCalendar.JANUARY, 1, 0, 0, 0);
      System.out.println(DateUtil.formatDate(gc.getTime()));
      
   }

Expected result:
Thu, 01 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMT

Actual result (if your default timezone is PST):
Wed, 31 Dec 2003 16:00:00 PST
