459844 - toLocaleFormat/PRMJ_FormatTime/strftime don't support "%e" on Windows

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 818634

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Steffen Wilberg]

toLocaleFormat/PRMJ_FormatTime/strftime don't support "%e" (one- or two-digit day: 1-31) on Windows. "%d" (two-digit day: 01-31) works though.

alert(new Date().toLocaleFormat("%B %e"));
RESULT:   Tue Oct 9 2008 17:21:00 GMT +0200
EXPECTED: Oktober 9.

alert(new Date().toLocaleFormat("%B %d"));
RESULT: Oktober 09 (as expected).

This is because PRMJ_FormatTime fails here:

And this is because strftime doesn't support "%e" on Windows:

Can we work around this in PRMJ_FormatTime by using %d and stripping any leading zeroes?
