HTTPDate¶

from acron.core import HTTPDate

class HTTPDate¶

Bases:

A container for an HTTP-legal time/date indication. This can accept a string from an HTTP header and will decode it into a C time_t value; conversely, it can accept a time_t value and encode it for output as a string.

__add__()¶

__eq__()¶

__gt__()¶

__iadd__()¶

__init__()¶: Decodes the string into a sensible date. Returns 0 (!is_valid()) if the string cannot be correctly decoded.

__isub__()¶

__lt__()¶

__ne__()¶

__sub__()¶

assign()¶

compare_to()¶: Returns a number less than zero if this HTTPDate sorts before the other one, greater than zero if it sorts after, or zero if they are equivalent.

get_string()¶

get_time()¶: Returns the date as a C time_t value.

input()¶

is_valid()¶: Returns true if the date is meaningful, or false if it is -1 (which generally indicates the source string could not be parsed.)

static now()¶: Returns an HTTPDate that represents the current time and date.
