Locale dependent dates in HTTP response

[pmhahn]

I downloaded a recording and wget complained about a wrong date format:

$ wget --content-disposition http://barrel.fritz.box:6544/Content/GetRecording?RecordedId=3756
...
»Last-modified«-Kopfzeile ungültig -- Zeitstempel übergangen.

Using curl the dates indeed use my German locale:

$ curl -I http://barrel.fritz.box:6544/Content/GetRecording?RecordedId=3756                   
...

mythtv/mythtv/libs/libmythupnp/httprequest.cpp uses MythDate::kRFC822, which uses my current locale instead of always using en_US.

Trac reports an error when trying to attach the patch as a file, so here it is inline:

Subject: [PATCH] mythbase: Fix RFC 822 Date Formatting
To: mythtv-dev@mythtv.org

The RFC 822 date format should always use en_US locale for month and
day names instead of whatever the system locale is.
