| local a = os.date('%c') | |
| local b = os.date('!%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y') | |

Can anybody tell me what's going on here? Why don't the 2 strings match? How can I make them match? Do I subtract the 6 hours for my timezone and update the date? That seems a little hackish.
When I use os.date('%!c') the ! tells it to format date in UTC, which it does, but returns time and date from the Zero time zone.
