Wrong (invalid) Syslog Timestamps (depends on location) #36

@ndsvw

Description

@ndsvw

The month of a Syslog timestamp is defined as one of these values: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3164#section-4.1.2)

But if you are located in special countries (Germany for example, but a lot more), the line
timestamp = String.Concat(dt.ToString("MMM "), day, dt.ToString(" HH:mm:ss"));
could result in month names like "Mrz", "Dez"...

They are not valid!

This is easily solvable by adding CultureInfo.InvariantCulture as 2nd parameter of DateTime.toString:

timestamp = String.Concat(dt.ToString("MMM ", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), day, dt.ToString(" HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
