Hi;
I am new to the list, and to Twisted.
I was playing with the twisted webserver and found a bug that
seems to come up when accessing web pages using an old version
of netscape.
I am using:
Netscape Navigator 4.08
FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE
Twisted 0.19 (from FreeBSD ports)
The error would occur when trying to reload a page which had
been changed, and seems to be caused by the way the date is
being sent from the browser to the server.
I am able to work around the problem, by just using a pre-set
date if there is a problem parsing that date,
as this patch shows:
*** http.py.1 Sat Aug 17 12:44:45 2002
--- http.py Sat Aug 17 12:45:39 2002

*** 204,214 ****
def stringToDatetime(dateString):
"""Convert an HTTP date string to seconds since epoch."""
! parts = string.split(dateString, ' ')
! day = int(parts[1])
! month = int(monthname.index(parts[2]))
! year = int(parts[3])
! hour, min, sec = map(int, string.split(parts[4], ':'))
return int(timegm(year, month, day, hour, min, sec))
