Initializing javascript date object with date string

Question

what date strings are considered valid to pass to the javascript date object constructor to initialize a date object.

The same strings that are deemed valid by [parse()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse). — Frédéric Hamidi, Aug 31 '12 at 12:25

The string should be in a format recognized by the parse method (IETF-compliant RFC 2822 timestamps).
