  The minio S3-compatible API requires a Date header in ISO 8601 of RFC 1123 format. The {{$timestamp}} system variable doesn't provide for format control. It would be helpful to add a format option to that system variable, or provide an alternate system variable that formats the date-time in a recognizable format.

Sample error code from minio:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

@peterquirk I add new new system variable named datetime, so that you can reference this variable with {{$datetime iso8601}} or {{$datetime rfc1123}}

Thank you - this is perfect!

@peterquirk you can try the latest version 0.18.2 to verify

Is it possible to add RFC3339 to the options?
