I want to convert the http header field "Date", which is returned to me in the format "Wed, 07 Mar 2012 09:58:26 GMT", into a time_t value.

I'm not sure if there's a standard format for this field in the http headers.

I saw this: parsing of date/time from string (boost?), but I don't know if I can make a facet for the format I mentioned.

Also, I need the functionality to be portable.

I could easily parse it by myself, but I hope there's a better, quicker and safer way.

@Rolle No, it is not a duplicate. It's about a different format. – Itzuke Mar 07 '12 at 12:28

@Itzuke: strptime can be used for about any format – PlasmaHH Mar 08 '12 at 11:57
