[jira] [Reopened] (NUTCH-1554) org.apache.nutch.net.protocols.HttpDateFormat should NOT be Locale.US aware

Sebastian Nagel reopened NUTCH-1554:
------------------------------------


Hi Lewis, the opposite is true: now the HttpDateFormat is sensitive to the locale set on the system. If a Russian locale is used the if-modified-since date sent in the HTTP header will look like:
{code}
% LC_ALL=ru_RU.utf8 runtime/local/bin/nutch \
    org.apache.nutch.net.protocols.HttpDateFormat
Пн, 08 апр 2013 21:24:24 GMT
{code}
That's definitely not the date format specified in the HTTP RFC (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.3.1).
