Question

I have created a method which return the time , I want to return the time in RFC 2822 format please suggest how can I achieve this ?

One of the practical purpose of formatting in rfc2822 is 'If-Modified-Since' HTTP header. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13593796/if-modified-since-date-format — woto, Dec 03 '14 at 16:53

Simply:

require 'time'

t = Time.now
formatted_time = t.rfc2822  # "Wed, 05 Oct 2011 22:26:12 -0400"
