[ruby-core:67687] [ruby-trunk - Bug #10733] Time.httpdate raises ArgumentError when DateTime.now.httpdate is provided as input

Issue #10733 has been updated by Martin D端rst.


Maybe it's worth trying with some other encodings (e.g. 'iso-8859-1' or so). Or change the order. I'd also suggest to find out what encoding the regexp has, and try and create the regexp from a string with a different encoding. In theory, because both the regexp and the date have only ASCII data, it shouldn't matter, but there's some chance that the /i throws some spanners in the works, especially if the encoding of the regexp is UTF-8.

Probably unrelated, but this can be written much simpler, e.g. the first line like
date_UTF      = "Mon, 19 Jan 2015 08:43:19 GMT".encode 'UTF-8'

An irb session demonstrating the bug:

```
irb(main):001:0> require 'time'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Time.httpdate("Mon, 12 Jan 2015 12:04:15 GMT")
=> 2015-01-12 12:04:15 UTC
irb(main):003:0> DateTime.now.httpdate.to_s
=> "Mon, 12 Jan 2015 12:04:56 GMT"
irb(main):004:0> Time.httpdate(DateTime.now.httpdate.to_s)
ArgumentError: not RFC 2616 compliant date: "Mon, 12 Jan 2015 12:05:08 GMT"
        from /Users/mcls/.rbenv/versions/2.2.0/lib/ruby/2.2.0/time.rb:544:in `httpdate'
        from (irb):4
        from /Users/mcls/.rbenv/versions/2.2.0/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'
```

To reproduce:
```
require 'time'
Time.httpdate("Mon, 12 Jan 2015 12:04:15 GMT") # works
Time.httpdate(DateTime.now.httpdate.to_s) # => ArgumentError
```

It seems that this only occurs on 2.2.0. (Tested on 2.1.5 and it works fine)
