How to properly convert the Last-Modified header from an HTTP response to an NSDate on iOS

Question

I am looking for a fully working solution, one that works with:

• any iOS locale or timezone
• any/most HTTP servers
• Xcode 4.0.2 (see why)

Answer 1

The only thing wrong is that you're missing asterisks in-between NSString and lastModifiedString, and also between NSDate and date. Once you put those in, this code works for me.
