Description

[Olivier Mengué]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

In the warning for an HTTP site with an expired server certificate, the current
time is shown in english instead of in the locale.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use an fr_FR build
2. Go to https://tech.i-dns.net/


Actual Results:  
The dialog is shown and says:
« tech.i-dns.net » est un site qui utilise un certificat de sécurité pour
chiffrer les données durant la transmission, mais ce certificat a expiré le
11/05/2002 06:26.

Vous devriez vérifier que la date de votre ordinateur est correcte
(actuellement, c'est Thursday, April 28, 2005 00:08:25).

Voulez-vous continuer quand même ?

Expected Results:  
The dislog should says:
« tech.i-dns.net » est un site qui utilise un certificat de sécurité pour
chiffrer les données durant la transmission, mais ce certificat a expiré le
11/05/2002 à 06:26.

Vous devriez vérifier que la date de votre ordinateur est correcte
(actuellement, c'est le 28/04/2005 00:08).

Voulez-vous continuer quand même ?

Workaround: learn english.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Adding intl keyword.

The bug is sitll in Firefox 1.0.7 fr_FR.

It can be easily reproduced by any user/developer.
However the correct result is distinguishable only in a non-english environment.
Changing the locale environment variables (LC_DATE) may help to check if a fix
works.

This appears to be fixed in Firefox 1.5 / Windows.

Thanks to the nameless developer who did it ;).
