httpdate 

        # Time.httpdate

(from ruby core)
---
    httpdate(date)

---

Parses `date` as an HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616 and converts it to a
Time object.

ArgumentError is raised if `date` is not compliant with RFC 2616 or if
the Time class cannot represent specified date.

See #httpdate for more information on this format.

    require 'time'

    Time.httpdate("Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:26:12 GMT")
    #=> 2011-10-06 02:26:12 UTC

You must require 'time' to use this method.
