What date RFC does Twitter use?

Question

Doc use : Tue Apr 07 22:52:51 +0000 2009 as an example.
Can anyone identify the rfc? Cheers

Answer 1

Neither RFC 2822 nor RFC 3339 allow for separating the year from the month and day like that. If twitter was trying to be compliant, they blew it on the two most relevant IETF standards and on ISO 8601.
