Re: Fixed Protect Stop Date in BL-M-4-20 also has +10:00 time zone

[Tim Hudson <tjh@cryptsoft.com>]

In XML the Date-Time encoding is explicitly noted in 5.4.1.6.12 as xsd:dataTime and those are valid values.

5.4.1.6.12 Date-Time

For XML, value uses [XML-SCHEMA] type xsd:dateTime

<ArchiveDate type="DateTime" value="2001-01-01T10:00:00+10:00"/>

Your XML to TTLV code must be able to handle the timezone specification and convert into UTC prior to going into TTLV form.

The example there shows precisely that timezone in use (and always has done so).Â

I did place the date time values in prior test cases in +00:00 / Zulu / UTC - but there is absolutely no requirement to do so.Â

XML code needs to be able to handle all the supported xsd:dateTime values.

From the KMIP Spec:

Date-Time values are POSIX Time values encoded as Long Integers. POSIX Time, as described in IEEE Standard 1003.1 [IEEE1003-1], is the number of seconds since the Epoch (1970 Jan 1, 00:00:00 UTC), not counting leap seconds.

So to get the real number of seconds for the Protect Stop Date I have to put the time below into UTC time first just to generate the proper TTLV

Can we change all of these to GMT please.
