Mozilla shows date and time in a dodgy format under the about:cache family of addresses.

Comment on attachment 150629 [details] [diff] [review] the patch to use ISO 8601 hmm. maybe this should use http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/intl/locale/public/nsIDateTimeFormat.h# 65 instead? the function signature would have to change, of course...

I was thinking about that. But in that case, it would be strange to have American English description with, let's say, Russian style date and time in Cyrillic script... Maybe it should be properly localised first, before using locale's date and time?

Comment on attachment 150629 [details] [diff] [review] the patch to use ISO 8601 hm, good point. localizing this is probably not worth the time.

All strings in about:cache are hard-coded. Therefore, using locale date will only confuse non-English speakers. Anyhow, about:cache is only intended for advanced users, who are very likely to have no problems with ISO 8601. > p.s. I don't have the problems mentioned in comment #3 as the misleading > date is the only Americanism in about:cache It surely not. :-) In en-GB we have "disc", in about:cache we have "disk". Localisation of about:cache is welcome in another bug. :-) More comments in this bug are irrelevant.

The HTTP headers are exchanged in this format, so I think this is an improvement... Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2004 17:43:11 GMT
