Description Joseph Pecoraro 2011-09-28 11:41:51 PDT
Opening ftp://ftp.oracle.com in a browser that uses WebCore's FTPDirectoryDocument
was including a semi-garbage incorrect string for the Last Modified Date.

It looks like this was due to a change that removed some string corrosion and
accidentally introduced pointer arithmetic: 
http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/86542/trunk/Source/WebCore/html/FTPDirectoryDocument.cpp

    dateString = months[month] + ' ' + String::number(fileTime.tm_mday) + ", " + String::number(fileTime.tm_year);

The first two pieces are (char* + char) instead of the desired (WTF::String + char) and result
in an unexpected prefix for dateString.

Patch to follow.

Typo, I meant: "coercion".

[PATCH] Proposed Fix

I also switched from + ' ' to + " " which would have caused a compiler issue and help catch
this earlier, but if you want we can switch that space back to a char. The important part
was to force the first expr to be a WTF::String.
