node.js returns GMT time and not local time for “new Date()”

[jaseemabid]

I am getting the following result for a "new Date()"

• Node : "Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:39:53 GMT "
• Browser : "Sun Apr 01 2012 03:17:56 GMT+0530 (IST)"

I am expecting the browser version from node

• node version : v0.6.12
• os : Debian unstable

Installed node with the package manager with default configuration.

This is just the Date's repl representation, which calls .toGMTString(). This is actually changed on the master branch to match how browsers do it:

☮ ~ (master) ⚡ node
> process.version
'v0.7.7'
> new Date
Sat Mar 31 2012 15:03:32 GMT-0700 (PDT)
