Method: DateTime.httpdate

Defined in:
ext/date/date_core.c

.httpdate(string = 'Mon, 01 Jan -4712 00:00:00 GMT'[, start=Date::ITALY]) ⇒ Object

Creates a new DateTime object by parsing from a string according to some RFC 2616 format.

DateTime.httpdate('Sat, 03 Feb 2001 04:05:06 GMT')

#=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+00:00 …>

Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
