Description of how the product handles dates:
All dates are stored internally the same as they are for the Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value.
2-digit shortcut handling:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0/4.01 interprets dates entered with a 2-digit shortcut to mean the 21st century in the following way:
1/1/00 through 12/31/79 are interpreted as 1/1/2000 through 12/31/2079
1/1/80 through 12/31/99 are interpreted as 1/1/1980 through 12/31/1999
Some web sites using older web servers may use HTTP/1.0 headers that have a 2-digit date representation for the year. Web authors may also use a 2-digit year representation for expiration date of cookie data.
Common date usage errors:
Independent of Internet ExplorerÆs handling of dates, web page HTML content, JSCRIPT, java applets, server scripts, or controls all may have potential Year 2000 issues.
The JSCRIPT method .getYear() returns a two-digit string for years within the operational range up to 1999. The method returns a four-digit string for years within the operational range from 2000. Web authors can use the method .getFullYear(), which always returns 4-digit dates.
If you are testing certificates in Internet Explorer that are not yet valid, Internet Explorer displays an incorrect message that they are expired.
Testing guidelines and recommendations:
Tests of web sites or web-based applications for the year 2000 need to have Internet Explorer, the web server, and if applicable, proxy server, all transition to operate in the year 2000 under testing. For example, depending on your web and proxy server, it may use a 2-digit year in its HTTP/1.0 headers. While the Internet Explorer team has tested operation with popular web servers and proxy servers, verification of IE should include testing of the below items within your corporate environment.
- Authentication: If you use a secured site and/or SSL connections, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation. Note: If you are testing certificates in Internet Explorer that are not yet valid, Internet Explorer displays an incorrect message that they are expired.
- Code Download: If you are testing certificates in Internet Explorer that are not yet valid, Internet Explorer displays an incorrect message that they are expired.
- File Download: Verify proper download of any files referred to by your site.
- Search: Verify that search bar works for your preferred search provider.
- Subscriptions: IE4 provides for publisher-scheduled updates and expiration for channel content. Verify proper update of subscribed sites.
- Autoconfiguration: The IEAK allows for downloading of new settings and restrictions maintained by an administrator on a server. Options for autoconfiguration include updating settings by date and by a timeout value.
In addition, contact your web server and proxy server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations.
Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific. You should ensure that interactive sites can handle the year 2000 in their web page HTML content, cookies, JSCRIPT, java applets, server scripts, or controls. | |
