Jim,

can you explain the format of the Date header, what each digit should represent?

Chris

A date value that's a big number like that is "seconds since epoch". The epoch is 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. This is a common way of telling time on POSIX systems like Linux. Java uses something similar but not identical -- milliseconds since epoch.

The number 1665532450 is equivalent to Tuesday, October 11, 2022 11:54:10 PM in the UTC timezone.

The digits in the number have no specific meaning. It's just a big decimal number.

Thanks, Shawn
