Description Anton 2006-06-30 01:18:16 UTC

Version:           1.2.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9) 
OS:                Linux

The follow url 
http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=SNXX0006&u=c
with yahoo forecast is not using RFC-822 format for dates.
RSS validator gives the follow errors:
http://rss.scripting.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fxml.weather.yahoo.com%2Fforecastrss%3Fp%3DSNXX0006%26u%3Dc
1.   lastBuildDate must be an RFC-822 date   8  44
2.   pubDate must be an RFC-822 date   27  38

Аlthough it's not clearly bug of Akregotor you still might want to fix this,
because the rest of rss readers might still parse it properly.

The akregotor output:
Conditions for Singapore, SN at 6:30 am SGT   - 2006-06-29 14:30

This will result morning's new messages will appear in the middle between old ones.

The "am" is wrong there.. rfc822 uses 24h format. This is a single feed, and I refuse to support all the errors some feed out there does. Go tell yahoo to fix it. If there was a noteworthy number of feeds out there doing this mistake, one could think about making an exception for the sake of user experience, but not for a single feed (or a group of feeds respectively).
