While working on a project I came across with a problem that I traced to
Time.rb. Some rss feeds return time in the following format "Mon, 28 Jul
2008 5:56 pm PDT". Searching inside time.rb code I was not able to find any
rfc capable of parsing that string. Is there any rfc which manages this
type of time format which contains AM/PM ? (rfc2822 does not) if there is
and it is not yet implemented I would more than glad to code it, it is just
that I do not know I should just monkey patch the class to make this work or
if I could implement an existent rfc that will solve the issue, and truly I
would rather do the last, "mucho" more interesting.

Doesn't this work?

$ ruby -r time -e 'puts Time.parse "Mon, 28 Jul 2008 5:56 pm PDT"'
