Hi,

when parsing RSS, there are many date formats. For example:

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 16:49:00 EDT
Sat, 20 Sep 2008 11:25:00 +0100

I would like to write a single function which takes care of parsing this 
stuff and returns a GMT time. The attached code can take care of the 
format with the exception of the time zone.

 From what I read in the documentation and various other sources I take 
it that time zones like EDT cannot be automatically handled by 
BoostTime. But I would assume that it is not a big deal to take care of 
something like +0100?

Sadly, I have no idea how to do that?

Thanks and regards,

Roland
