The latest release 0.8.0 should hopefully be able to parse these dates
correctly.  Note that I've also added a special variable so you can
allow Drakma to fail when parsing cookie dates.  Still, I'd prefer if
people would report any date format Drakma can't parse to this mailing
list.

Thanks for the report,
Edi.
