Subject: [ruby-core:45251] [ruby-trunk - Bug #6491] DateTime.strftime('%Z') output is incorrect format


Issue #6491 has been updated by zombor (Jeremy Bush).


If this is expected functionality, then perhaps the documentation should be changed. It clearly says `%Z - Time zone abbreviation name`. This in my eyes (and about 10 other ruby developers I asked before i filed this) means UTC, CST, etc.

It may be a human readable format, but it sure isn't the "Time zone abbreviation name" as the documentation says.

Bug #6491: DateTime.strftime('%Z') output is incorrect format

Author: zombor (Jeremy Bush)

Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p125 (2012-02-16 revision 34643) [x86_64-darwin11]


DateTime.parse('2012/05/23').strftime('%Z') should output 'GMT' (or a similar string). It outputs "+00:00" (or a similar offset string).
