Hi
Is there a bug in the old-locale package? I tried the following simple program:
import Data.Time import System.Locale
main = do time <- getCurrentTime putStrLn $ formatTime defaultTimeLocale rfc822DateFormat time
The above program prints:
Mon, d Apr 2009 15:23:56 UTC
Notice "Mon, d", where "d" should be the day of the month. Looking at the source code in the package, I see:
rfc822DateFormat = "%a, %_d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z"
So what's up with %_d?
That looks like an error to me. According to the date(1) manpage, an underbar pads with spaces. % date +"%a, %_d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z" Tue, 21 Apr 2009 00:25:50 SGT /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
