            Bug ID: 69373
           Summary: Make DefaultServlet's HTML listing file last modified
                    rendering better (flexible)
           Product: Tomcat 9
           Version: 9.0.95
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: micha...@apache.org
  Target Milestone: -----

Right now the format is fixed to (unreadable) RFC 5322, section 3.3. No way to
change or default to ISO 8601. To make it more accessible and flexible I have a
two fold improval proposal:
1. Introduce a "protected String renderTimestamp(long timestamp)" method which
will invoke org.apache.tomcat.util.http.FastHttpDateFormat.formatDate(long)
identical to what getLastModifiedHttp() returns now. This will allow people to
override it, but retain the current behavior (output format).
2. Introduce two new servlet parameters: "lastModifiedFormat"
(SimpleDateFormat), "lastModifiedTimeZone" (if desired locale as well). If none
set, the above kicks in, if at least lastModifiedFormat is set create a
ConcurrentDateFormat member.

I'd split this into two commits.
