Hi,

I have a few questions regarding date/time formating in skylark.
When I try to set date scan and print format in main, all settings seem to be ignored.
I have to call SetDateFormat, SetDateScan, SetDateFilter in page handler to force my format.
What is correct way of setting locales in skylark application?

BTW Correct me if I am wrong but the only proper date format for web applications is YYYY-MM-DD and this should be default setting for skylark.

Second problem appears when I receive variable from http, want to modify it and send back to witz script, http keeps old value of variable.
For example:

int i = ScanInt(http["NUM"]);
i++;
http("NUM", i)("NUM2", i).RenderResult(MyApp/script.witz)

NUM keeps old value, NUM2 new value. Is it correct behavior?

Below is complete example:

#include <Skylark/Skylark.h>

using namespace Upp;

SKYLARK(HomePage, "")
{
//	SetDateFormat("%1:04d-%2:02d-%3:02d");
//	SetDateScan("ymd");
//	SetDateFilter("A/\a .-");
	
	Date d = ScanDate((String)http["ID"]);
	RLOG(Format("Date befor scan: %s, after scan %`", http["ID"], d));
	d = AddMonths(d, 1);
	http
	("ID", Format("%`", d))
	("ID2", Format("%`", d))
	.RenderResult("Skylark05/index");
}


struct MyApp : SkylarkApp {
	MyApp() {
		root = "myapp";
	#ifdef _DEBUG
		prefork = 0;
		use_caching = false;
	#endif
	}
};

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
	SetDateFormat("%1:04d-%2:02d-%3:02d");
	SetDateScan("ymd");
	SetDateFilter("A/\a .-");
#ifdef _DEBUG
	StdLogSetup(LOG_FILE|LOG_COUT);
	Ini::skylark_log = true;
#endif

	MyApp().Run();	
}

index.witz:

<html>
<body>
<form action=$HomePage method="get" accept-charset="utf-8" enctype="multipart/form-data">
   <P>
    <INPUT type="date" name="ID" value="$ID">
    <INPUT type="submit" value="Submit">
   </P>
</form>
ID2 = $ID2
</body>
</html>
