[ruby-core:56025] [ruby-trunk - Bug #6491] DateTime.strftime('%Z') output is incorrect format

Issue #6491 has been updated by kenips (Ken Ip).


@tadf why is this closed? To me a discrepancy between DateTime.strftime and Time.strftime should either be documented or fixed. You're saying that:

> DateTime.now.strftime('%z %Z')
=> "-0400 -04:00"

> Time.now.strftime('%z %Z')
=> "-0400 EDT"

is OK?

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