DateTime iso8601
DateTime.iso8601 or to_json does not return UTC with "Z"
ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone has some interesting behaviors.
require 'active_support/core_ext'
=> true
ActiveSupport.use_standard_json_time_format
=> true
DateTime.new(2013, 5, 28).to_json
=> ""2013-05-28T00:00:00+00:00""
DateTime.new(2013, 5, 28).in_time_zone('UTC').to_json
=> "\"2013-05-28T00:00:00Z\""
ActiveSupport.use_standard_json_time_format = false
=> false
DateTime.new(2013, 5, 28).in_time_zone('UTC').to_json
=> "\"2013/05/28 00:00:00 +0000\""
DateTime.new(2013, 5, 28).in_time_zone('UTC').iso8601
=> "2013-05-28T00:00:00Z"
DateTime.new(2013, 5, 28).iso8601
=> "2013-05-28T00:00:00+00:00"
DateTime.new(2013, 5, 28).to_json
=> "\"2013/05/28 00:00:00 +0000\""
