Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 213699

(Documentation Graveyard :: Help Viewer, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: 

auto-proxy file format specification :
( http://wp.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/relnotes/demo/proxy-live.html )
states, that daterange() can handle those
combinations of arguments:
8<------------------>8
dateRange(day)
dateRange(day1, day2)
dateRange(mon)
dateRange(month1, month2)
dateRange(year)
dateRange(year1, year2)
dateRange(day1, month1, day2, month2)
dateRange(month1, year1, month2, year2)
dateRange(day1, month1, year1, day2, month2, year2)
dateRange(day1, month1, year1, day2, month2, year2,
gmt)
[...]
Even though the above examples don't show, the "GMT"
parameter can be specified in any of the 9 (sic!)
different call profiles, always as the last parameter.

  
8<------------------>8
In the examples section there is one call that doesn't
match these call profiles:
8<------------------>8
This statement is true on the 24th of December, 1995.
dateRange(24, "DEC", 1995) 
8<------------------>8
Is the call profile collection incomplete, or is this
a fake example? Could anyone please shed some light
into this matter?
