Http Json Api Server: verify wrong? and unixtime

[spottuit]

So my first problem is that I somehow have a difference of two hours between my outcome of the time and the outcome from the learnyounode verify command:

Maybe it is important to say that 18 was the time on my computer at the time I made the screenshot. Anyway when I used the learnyounode run command I saw that my time matched the time from the query:

My second problem is that my unix timestamp isn't right, but I can't figure out why. Are there any extra things like leap years? Or do I have a fault in my code?

Code from main file:

var http = require('http');
var url = require('url');
var toUnixtime = require('./unixtime-module.js');

http.createServer(function(request, response) { 
    var urlObject = url.parse(request.url);
    response.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' });

    if(request.method == 'GET') {
        if (urlObject.pathname == '/api/parsetime') {
            //regex convert nonummeric characters to a space            
            var dateTime = urlObject.query.replace(/\D/g, " ").split(" ");  
            //GMT+ 2 hours (the time given by the verify is GMT + 0(mine is +2))
            dateTime[7] = Number(dateTime[7]) + 2;                  
            response.write(JSON.stringify({hour: Number(dateTime[7]), minute: Number(dateTime[8]), second: Number(dateTime[9])}));
            response.end();
        } else if (urlObject.pathname == '/api/unixtime') {                                 
            response.write(toUnixtime(urlObject.query));
            response.end();
        }
    }
}).listen(process.argv[2]);

Code from the unixtime-module:

var miliseconds = 0;

function leapYear(year) {
    return (year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0 || year % 400 == 0) ? true : false;
}

function yearsToMiliseconds(year) { 
    //-1 because the year you are in isn't a full year
    year = year - 1
    for(; year >= 1970; year--) {       
        miliseconds += (leapYear(year) === true) ? 366 * 86400000000 : 365 * 86400000000;
    }   
}

function monthsAndDaysToMiliseconds(day, month, year) {
    //-1 because the day you are in isn't a full day
    miliseconds += (day - 1) * 86400000000; 

    months = { 01 : 31, 02 : 28, 03 : 31, 04 : 30, 05 : 31, 06 : 30, 07 : 31, 08 : 31, 09 : 30, 10 : 31, 11 : 30, 12 : 31 };
    //remove the zero so I can do minus 1   
    month = month.substring(1);

    //-1 because the month you are in isn't a full month
    for(; month - 1 > 0; month--) {     
        miliseconds += (leapYear(year) === true && month == 02) ? 29 * 86400000000 : months[month] * 86400000000;
    }           
}

function timeToMiliseconds(hour, minutes, seconds, milisec) {
    //86400000000 miliseconds per day / 24 = 3600000 per hour / 60 = 60000 per minute / 60 = 1000 per second
    miliseconds += hour * 3600000;
    //GMT+ 2 hours (the time given by the verify is GMT + 0(mine is +2))
    miliseconds += 3600000 * 2;
    miliseconds += minutes * 60000; 
    miliseconds += seconds * 1000;      
    miliseconds += milisec;
}

module.exports = function toUnixtime(query) {
    //regex convert nonummeric characters to a space
    var dateTime = query.replace(/\D/g, '/');
    //don't take to much slashes since we will split on that
    dateTime = dateTime.slice(4, 26);

    dateTime = dateTime.split('/'); 
    //datetime after: [0] = year [1] = month [2] = day [3] = hour [4] = minutes [5] = seconds [6] = miliseconds

    yearsToMiliseconds(dateTime[0]);    
    monthsAndDaysToMiliseconds(dateTime[2], dateTime[1], dateTime[0]);  
    timeToMiliseconds(dateTime[3], dateTime[4], dateTime[5], dateTime[6]);

    //return as JSON string and make a number of 13 characters
    return JSON.stringify({ "unixtime": Number(miliseconds.substring(0, 13)) });
}

PS: I know I can get the unix timestamp in a shorter way, but I want to learn more and challenge myself.

Did you check the time zones? GMT time versus local time?

[spottuit]

I see that the GMT time is now: 18:09 and my time is 20:09. So I guess I have to add 2 hours extra to the total of miliseconds and also add two hours to the first JSON response. But then we still have the second problem left.

[martinheidegger]

Did you know that you can pass hour, day, month etc. to the date object? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

Also: it is possible to add formatted code to github: https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown/#syntax-highlighting

Edit: The timezone problem also exists for the unix time.

[spottuit]

Yes I know I can use the date object to get the unix timestamp, but I want to do it without the date object.

PS: Thanks for the information about the formatted code. I didn't know that.

Edit: I know that the problem also exists for the unix time. I added two hours to both responses I need to return.
