Random Date format

Hi everyone,

As weird as it can appears, when I call the function new Date() sometimes he gives me date in this format: Mon Jun 21 2010 09:07:09 GMT+0200 and sometimes in this one: 2010-06-21 09:07:09 +0200.

So how can I be sure to get one of these format?

    So use the Date object's built in "get" methods to get said format

    • It is really helpful that you added link to non existing page

  • Okay I get it. When you place it into a string it will be the first format. So the code below: 

    var now = new Date();
Ti.API.info(now);
Ti.API.info(" "+now);

    will give:

    [INFO] 2010-06-21 09:50:27 +0200
[INFO] Mon Jun 21 2010 09:50:27 GMT+0200 (CEST)

    It's a shame because I'd like to pass the date in the first format in an HTTP request (also I have to use a string…)
