parsing times in FDSN station request

[crotwell]

Although not part of the official FDSN web service spec, many data centers allow the appending of a Z to a time to indicate UTC, and I feel this is a useful feature as it helps prevent bad requests due to timezones.

It appears that your station web service is appending 00000Z to the time string without first checking to see if the Z is already present, resulting in an invalid time. Maybe a check to verify first would be more robust.

Error 400: Bad Request
