Is ht://Dig Y2K compliant?

ht://Dig should be y2k compliant since it never stores dates as two-digit years. Under ht://Dig’s copyright (GPL), there is no warranty whatsoever as permitted by law. If you would like an iron-clad, legally-binding guarantee, feel free to check the source code itself. Versions prior to 3.1.2 did have a problem with the parsing of the Last-Modified header returned by the HTTP server, which will cause incorrect dates to be stored for documents modified after February 28, 2000 (yes, it didn’t recognize 2000 as a leap year). Versions prior to 3.1.5 didn’t correctly handle servers that return two digit years in the Last-Modified header, for years after 99. These problems are fixed in the current release. If you discover something else, please let us know!
