Functions

func HTTPDate

func HTTPDate(date string, caseSensitive bool) (time.Time, error)

HTTPDate parses date as an HTTP-Date and returns a time. The format of the HTTP-Date is specified in RFC 9110 HTTP Semantics Section 5.6.7 Date/Time Format (see https://httpwg.org/specs/rfc9110.html#rfc.section.5.6.7). The caseSensitive flag is needed to fully implement HTTP-Date parsing for RFC 9111 HTTP Caching (see https://httpwg.org/specs/rfc9111.html#rfc.section.4.2) which mandates that HTTP caching servers should parse dates case-insensitive.
