Source Code:

extern crate time;

fn main() {
    let utc = time::now_utc();
    let local = time::now();

    println!("utc:   {}", utc.rfc822());
    println!("local: {}", local.rfc822());
}

Console Output:

utc:   Fri, 29 Aug 2014 08:05:12 GMT
local: Fri, 29 Aug 2014 16:05:12 strftime: can't understand this format Z

According to the document of this API, the correct output should be:

utc:   Fri, 29 Aug 2014 08:05:12 GMT
local: Fri, 29 Aug 2014 16:05:12 PST

Closing as duplicate of #37.

Since it took me a while to find this, I'd like to mention it here:
in time version 0.1.44 you could do

time::now().to_utc().rfc822()

and print that, now in time version 0.3.20 you can do it like

time::OffsetDateTime::now_utc().format(&time::format_description::well_known::Rfc2822).unwrap()

and print it.

Cargo.toml:

time = { version="0.3", features= ["formatting","parsing"] }
