3.2.1 Injection-Date The Injection-Date header contains the date and time that the article was injected into the network. Its purpose is to prevent the reinjection into the news stream of "stale" articles which have already expired by the time they arrive at some relaying or serving agent. injection-date = "Injection-Date:" SP date-time CRLF See the remarks under Section 3.1.2 regarding the syntax of date- time and the requirements and recommendations to which it is subject. NOTE: The date-time in this header would normally be expected to be later than the date-time in the Date header, but differences between the clocks on the various agents and other special circumstances might vitiate that; no provision is made for any such discrepancy to be corrected - better that the injecting agent should just insert the correct time as it sees it. This header is intended to replace the currently-used but undocumented "NNTP-Posting-Date" header, whose use is now deprecated.[< Prev] [TOC] [ Next >]
