XMLRPC Time problem

I am not sure if this is a problem with the XMLRPC library but I cannot send
a time to the web service which expects ISO
'time data did not match format: data=2007-03-07T21:28:44Z UTC
> fmt=%Y%m%dT%H:%M:%S %Z'
>
And while the above is the correct ISO_8601 time I also tried the following
based on the error codes returned:
20070307T21:26:41 Z
20070307T21:25:14Z
2007-03-07T21:27:38 Z
20070307T213142Z
All give the same result. however the error includes the letters "UTC" and
from the docs:
The type is the type of data contained in the value parameter.
The supported types are:
* dateTime.iso8601: the value is an Internet date
Which makes me wander if the library is sending the internet time followed
by "UTC"? Or can someone help me with what the format response is asking for
if it is not in one of the above. Stuck here.
NB there was a bug in the function I posted -this is the one I am using at
the moment:
function date_Construct8601 someDate, useDateDelim, useTimeDelim
-- 1981-04-05T14:30:30-05:00
if useDateDelim is not false then put "-" into dateDelim
if useTimeDelim is not false then put ":" into timeDelim
convert someDate to internet date
put word -1 of somedate into utcOffset
put char 2 to 3 of utcOffset into extraHours
put char 4 to 5 of utcOffset into extraMin
convert someDate to dateItems
if char 1 of utcOffset is "+" then
add extraHours to item 4 of someDate
add extraMin to item 5 of someDate
else
subtract extraHours from item 4 of someDate
subtract extraMin from item 5 of someDate
end if
convert someDate to dateItems
set the numberformat to "00"
put item 1 of someDate & dateDelim into fDate
put (item 2 of someDate + 0) & dateDelim after fDate
put (item 3 of someDate + 0) after fDate
put "T" after fDate
put (item 4 of someDate + 0) & timeDelim after fDate
put (item 5 of someDate + 0) & timeDelim after fDate
put (item 6 of someDate + 0) & "Z" after fDate
return fDate
end date_Construct8601
