There are a couple of things that need to be checked: In GMTDate.inc, the correct offset must be used (this is the server offset from UTC, formerly GMT, so for a server in the UK this is probably 0). Also in GMTDate.inc, on a non-Win32 platform, you have to check to see what [date format=%Z] returns during Daylight Savings Time, so that the proper offset will happen. If I view the headers from the site right now, I see this: Date: Tue Dec 21 20:16:30 2004 GMT Last-Modified: Tue Dec 21 20:16:30 2004 GMT Expires: Tue Dec 21 20:16:30 2004 GMT which is just wrong (it is currently 21:54 GMT where I am).
