Fetcher::TimeParser

RFC-compliant time parser for feed dates Supports RFC 2822 (RSS), RFC 3339/ISO 8601 (Atom, JSON Feed), and common variants. All parsed times are normalized to UTC to avoid location mismatches and ensure consistent comparison behavior.

Constants

FALLBACK_DATE_PATTERN = /\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/

Pre-compiled regexes to avoid repeated compilation in hot path

FALLBACK_DATETIME_PATTERN = /\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}$/

Class methods
