Feature #4148

=begin On unix: Time.now.strftime('%T') #=> "15:33:03" Time.now.strftime('%Y') #=> "2010" Time.now.strftime('%Y %T') #=> "2010 15:33:03" Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S') #=> "15:33:03" On Windows 7 (64bit) (ruby 1.8.7, patchlevel 249 i386-mingw32): Time.now.strftime('%T') #=> "" Time.now.strftime('%Y') #=> "2010" Time.now.strftime('%Y %T') #=> "" Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S') #=> "15:33:03" So if %T is included in the string, everything breaks and "" is returned. I guess that problem might also exist on other windows plattforms. Since '%H:%M:%S' works it could be used instead, but some libraries, e.g. Rack::Session::Cookie use '%T' which leads to subtile bugs (e.g. Expire-Date for Cookies not set). I haven't tested with ruby 1.9 maybe, this bug also exists there. =end
