[Zope-dev] Logs stamped with wrong time

[Steve Alexander]

Zope 2.2 CVS checkout August 21.

I'm in the BST timezone, which is GMT+1.

All the entries in Z2.log are one hour behind where they should be.

127.0.0.1: - - [23/Aug/2000:15:15:39 +0100] "POST
/fmr/mail_test/manage_edit HTTP/1.0" 200 10139
"http://zope.cat-box.net/fmr/mail_test/manage_main" "Mozilla/4.61 [en]
(WinNT; I)"

I was watching this in the log using "tail -f", and the time was 16:15
BST.


I also checked the time on the machine: 
$ date
Wed Aug 23 16:15:42 BST 2000

Something awry in the time formatting in ZServer/medusa/http_server.py

Line 260:

	def log_date_string (self, when):
		return time.strftime (
			'%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S ',
			time.gmtime(when)
			) + tz_for_log


This looks wrong -- it is formatting the time for GMT, but adding on a
spurious timezone to the end. I guess time.gmtime should become
time.localtime.
