Crate httpdate [−] [src]
Date and time utils for HTTP.
Multiple HTTP header fields store timestamps.
For example a response created on May 15, 2015 may contain the header
Date: Fri, 15 May 2015 15:34:21 GMT. Since the timestamp does not
contain any timezone or leap second information it is equvivalent to
writing 1431696861 Unix time. Rust’s SystemTime is used to store
these timestamps.
This crate provides two public functions:
parse_http_dateto parse a HTTP datetime string to a system timefmt_http_dateto format a system time to a IMF-fixdate
In addition it exposes the HttpDate type that can be used to parse
and format timestamps. Convert a sytem time to HttpDate and vice versa.
The HttpType (8 bytes) is smaller than SystemTime (16 bytes) and
using the display impl avoids a temporary allocation.
