Connection fails from non english servers

[olyves]

$httpDate is not formated correctly on non english systems (Mac OS X for example):
%a 3 char weekday is localized.
I have added the following lines to have the script working:

my @wd = ("0", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun");
my $wn = $wd[strftime("%u", gmtime )];
my $httpDate = POSIX::strftime(", %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S +0000", gmtime );
$httpDate = $wn . $httpDate;

Was this ever fixed?
