           Summary: Forced date format for input of type=date
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Forms
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dtrunk90 at gmail.com


The date value interpreted from input[type=date] in the HTTP Request such as GET / POST will be formatted as yyyy-mm-dd.
Why?

It's a task of the server-side how a textfield should be interpreted.
No other browser manipulates any input data before sending to the server.

Example:
Germany - Common date format is dd.mm.yyyy
When setting up a hibernate validator model (Java) which represents the form and adding @DateTimeFormat(pattern="dd.MM.yyyy") to the field I'm facing an error as Chrome manipulates the value.
So I have the choice now: Manipulate the value on all other browsers as well and set the pattern to yyyy-MM-dd or make a workaround for Chrome to stop manipulating that value.
As the value shouldn't be manipulated I'd prefer the second one.

What's the idea behind that manipulation?
