Subject: DateTime about the zone

i'm reading a news server from ruby asking for DATE, it returns :
"20100612" for the date, that's ok for today
and :
"073429" for the time when it is 2 hours more

i want to return a correct datetime, taking into account the zone
5paris/france) i think it is + 2 H ?

but using datetime and the following :

text = ["20100612", "073429"]  # returned by the server thru Net::NNTP

i translate to =
datetime_str =
text[0].gsub(/(\d\d\d\d)(\d\d)(\d\d)/,'\1-\2-\3')+'T'+text[1].gsub(/(\d\
d)(\d\d)(\d\d)/,'\1:\2:\3')+'-02:00'

giving :

datetime_str = '2010-06-12T07:34:29+02:00'

if i read back the hour by :

datetime = DateTime.parse('2010-06-12T07:34:29+02:00')

time = adatetime.strftime(fmt='%H%M%S')

i get always :
073429
regardless of the time decay i put by the end of string (ie '+02:00' or
'-02:00' or 'CEST'

clearly i don't understand...
