Sorry, this was a complete red herring. I jumped too rapidly to an assumption about Jackrabbit and Tomcat. This was not an error with Tomcat, the Google FeedFetcher client is apparently issuing invalid if-modified-since headers. > It's not clear to me what the problem is with the date, some examples: > > java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Sat, 10 Dec 2005 08:39:07 > java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Sat, 10 Dec 2005 08:39:39 > java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Sat, 10 Dec 2005 08:51:37 The HTTP specification says the problem is that this format should have a GMT on the end, i.e. 'Sat, 10 Dec 2005 08:39:07 GMT'. It surprised me that an IllegalArgumentException is thrown in this case.
