Description
Dates produced using the --rfc-3339 flag to the Linux "date" command fail validation with actool.
$ date --rfc-3339=ns
2015-03-24 18:12:14.452835861-07:00
$ ~/Downloads/appc-v0.5.0/actool build `pwd` /tmp/example.aci
build: Layout failed validation: image manifest validation failed: bad Date: parsing time "2015-03-24 18:12:14.452835861-07:00" as "2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00": cannot parse " 18:12:14.452835861-07:00" as "T"
This is because the use of the "T" (or it's omission) is specified as a requirement by ISO-8601 while in RFC 3339 it may be a "T" or a space (" ").
As per the RFC:
NOTE: ISO 8601 defines date and time separated by "T".
Applications using this syntax may choose, for the sake of
readability, to specify a full-date and full-time separated by
(say) a space character.
In the validation of dates we should either make a note that the use of a "T" is a requirement or fix up validation to support a space.
