Parse HTTP 1.0 header date/time stamp in java

I'm using Apache Client to send HTTP/1.0 request and receive the response in java.

Now I met the problem: the header of response contains the property, "Date" which could be those three formats:

My problem is that I can use SimpleDateFormat to parse one type of those three formats but I can not find a good solution to parse ANY/ALL of those three formats.

(But HTTP/1.0 protocol requires to support all those formats, I can only support one of them)

Thanks indeed

If you can't put the time in milliseconds into the date field of the header of the server response (which is not conform to the http specification), then i think the only way is the following:

create three formats then parse the date value with every format and return or work with the value that didn't throw a parse exception.

Hope it helps.
