public long getHeaderFieldDate( String name,
long Default )
Parameters
- name
- the name of the header field.
- Default
- a default value.
Returns
the value of the field, parsed as a date. The value of the
Default argument is returned if the field is
missing or malformed.
Description
Returns the value of the named field parsed as date.
The result is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 GMT
represented by the named field.
This form of getHeaderField exists because some
connection types (e.g., http-ng) have pre-parsed
headers. Classes for that connection type can override this method
and short-circuit the parsing.
