I noticed that timestamps from attr(head_object(), "last-modified") are plain character strings (e.g. "Sun, 28 Mar 2021 04:09:09 GMT") while the analogous timestamps from get_bucket_df() are already parsed into POSIXct objects. Is there a built-in way in aws.s3 to get POSIXct timestamps from head_object(). I can manually convert the current head_object() timestamps to POSIXct using as.POSIXct(my_timestamp, format = "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S", tz = "GMT"), but I am concerned that I am overfitting the format specification and it may break when AWS or aws.s3 changes.
