//! Date and time utils for HTTP.
//!
//! Multiple HTTP header fields store timestamps.
//! For example a response created on May 15, 2015 may contain the header
//! `Date: Fri, 15 May 2015 15:34:21 GMT`. Since the timestamp does not
//! contain any timezone or leap second information it is equvivalent to
//! writing 1431696861 Unix time. Rust’s `SystemTime` is used to store
//! these timestamps.
//!
//! This crate provides two public functions:
//!
//! * `parse_http_date` to parse a HTTP datetime string to a system time
//! * `fmt_http_date` to format a system time to a IMF-fixdate
//!
//! In addition it exposes the `HttpDate` type that can be used to parse
//! and format timestamps. Convert a sytem time to `HttpDate` and vice versa.
//! The `HttpType` (8 bytes) is smaller than `SystemTime` (16 bytes) and
//! using the display impl avoids a temporary allocation.
