> The procedure “parse-rfc-822-date” in the module (web http) is a bit too
> strict as it rejects dates in which the hour field is a single digit
> without zero-padding.
>
> A date like this will be rejected:

> Whereas a date like this is accepted:

> The only difference is the leading zero in the timestamp.
