Sending dates in URL to the server swaps months and days

[wolfen351]

Hi there

If I send a DateTime object to the server representing 12 Jan 2015, the server interprets it as 1 Dec 2015. This happens if the server method accepts the datetime object directly.

I have noticed that the WebAPIProxy generates the url by just "xxxxx&myDate="+ myDate + "&xxxx"

Please can we change this, so the date is written in a way that C# MVC understands, but is unambigious.

Like ISO 8601 for example?

I have done a little research and I think this might work

myDateParameter.UtcNow.ToString("o")

Ok I'll start cleaning up issues shortly

Ok, we have 2 problems:

1) URL parameters need encoding 2) DateTime should be sent in a standard format, as to not lose data on the wire
