From d49c1442970642ba0daf2654b54dca971c83fd8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2005 14:57:41 +0000 Subject: Gisle Vanem came up with a nice little work-around for bug #1230118. It seems the Windows (MSVC) libc time functions may return data one hour off if TZ is not set and automatic DST adjustment is enabled. This made curl_getdate() return wrong value, and it also concerned internal cookie expirations etc. --- lib/parsedate.c | 13 ++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'lib') diff --git a/lib/parsedate.c b/lib/parsedate.c index 52529848d..ae9e232a9 100644 --- a/lib/parsedate.c +++ b/lib/parsedate.c @@ -236,9 +236,20 @@ static time_t Curl_parsedate(const char *date) struct tm tm; enum assume dignext = DATE_MDAY; const char *indate = date; /* save the original pointer */ - int part = 0; /* max 6 parts */ +#ifdef WIN32 + /* + * On Windows, we need an odd work-around for the case when no TZ variable + * is set.
