[reSIProcate] Bug in DateCategory::parse()

[Adam Roach]

That's my reading of it also. Per spec, the header that is causing it to 
throw an exception is malformed.

That said, Postel's Maxim would certainly support the idea of changing 
the code so that it parses headers without the "wkday" portion. Without 
looking at the parsing code specific to the date header field, I would 
guess that doing so should be a relatively trivial effort.
