          ^^^^^^^^^

maybe that typo has something to do with your getting Time.now.

It's retrieved correctly here:

h = HTTPAccess2::Client.new()
res = h.head('http://involution.com')
puts res.header['date']

=> Wed, 29 Mar 2006 09:20:17 GMT

Time.now

=> Wed Mar 29 11:20:50 CEST 2006

require 'pp'
pp res

<snip>
   @header_item=
    [["Date", "Wed, 29 Mar 2006 09:20:17 GMT"],
     ["Server", "Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat)"],
     ["X-Powered-By", "PHP/4.3.9"],
     ["X-Pingback", "http://involution.com/xmlrpc.php"],
     ["Connection", "close"],
     ["Content-Type", "text/html; charset=UTF-8"]],
