SystemDate is displayed with special characters

[rjammala]

When I try to get and display the system date using oid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.2.0, it is displayed with special characters (please see the attachment).

I am using the tip version of go.

$ go version
go version devel +e05b48e Thu Dec 10 08:04:07 2015 +0000 linux/amd64

When I get it through snmpget, I get the normal date:

HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemDate.0 = STRING: 2015-12-10,21:39:49.0,+0:0

I used the following as an example (I changed the oids):

The hrSystemDate is not an ascii formatted date.

You will need to convert the octetstring sequence to the desired format.
Here is a description of the contents of the octetstring.
