After much search I cannot find:
Explicit, legal, complete, authoritative definition of Usenet Time
String Format;
This is no NNTP (Network News *Transfer* Protocol) issue but one of
the Netnews Article Format defined in RFC 5536 where the "Expires"
header is defined.
Exactly how to format this for a NNTP 'Expires:' header so that servers
will notice it.
The definition of the header directly referres to RFC 5322 (Internet
Message Format) where the date-time format is defined. You possibly
would like to read about (E)BNFs ((Extended) Backus-Naur Forms) possibly
on Wikipedia to understand the definitions.
Please advise.
RTFM&RFCs!
RFCs are nearly always a good start to search for definitions of
internet standards. The index of RFCs is "rfc-index" which you might
consult in the first place to search it for suitable keywords for what
you are looking for.
