Hi friends

We got this bug report on curl_getdate() on Windows, and I need some help with
testing and fixing/working around this problem.

There are some further details and comments in the actual bug tracker entry...

Summary: curl_getdate(), DST, and cookie expiration
Initial Comment:
Platform: Windows XP
libcurl: 7.14
With the system clock properly configured to
automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time,
curl_getdate() appears to return a time_t value which
is 1 hour ahead of the correct value.  This prevents
cookies from expiring at the proper time.
The following demonstrates the problem:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "curl/curl.h"
int main()
{
 	time_t  tNow = ::time(NULL);
 	tm      tmGMT;
 	char    szGMT[128];
 	::memcpy(&tmGMT, ::gmtime(&tNow), sizeof(tm));
 	::strftime( szGMT, 128, "%a, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT",
&tmGMT );
 	time_t tCURL = ::curl_getdate(szGMT, NULL);
 	time_t tDiff = tCURL - tNow;
 	printf("Current time: %s\n", szGMT);
 	printf("Sytem time_t: %i\n", tNow);
 	printf("libcurl time_t: %i\n", tCURL);
 	printf("Difference: %i seconds\n", tCURL - tNow);
 	return 0;
}

Example run with properly configured system clock
(during DST):
Current time: Thu, 30-Jun-2005 03:02:14 GMT
Sytem time_t: 1120100534
libcurl time_t: 1120104134
Difference: 3600 seconds
-----------------------------------------------------------
Example run with automatic DST adjustment disabled:
Current time: Thu, 30-Jun-2005 03:02:28 GMT
Sytem time_t: 1120100548
libcurl time_t: 1120100548
Difference: 0 seconds
