Getting current date with javascript with HTTP Date format

http, javascript

Solution

The HTTP date format you mention is actually an RFC-1123 timestamp. The `toUTCString` function on the `Date` object is supposed to return a compatible value.

You can validate this with this sample Fiddle.

Problem

i'm looking for a way to get the current date and time in the HTTP date format which is for example "Tue, 15 Nov 1994 08:12:31 GMT". I would like to get that with JavaScript. I tried with: ``` new Date().toString() ``` but this gives me a different format like: "Tue Aug 20 2013 00:19:28 GMT+0200". I would need to invert the month with the day and put a coma between the day of the week and the day of the month. How can i get that format?
