I am using this in our app

+ (NSDate *) getAWSDate
{
    NSDate *today = nil; 
   NSString *dateString = nil;

    NSString *awsURL = @"http://s3.amazonaws.com";
    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:awsURL]];  
    [request setHTTPMethod:@"HEAD"];  

    NSHTTPURLResponse *response;  
    [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error: NULL];  

    if ([response respondsToSelector:@selector(allHeaderFields)]) {  
        dateString = [[response allHeaderFields] objectForKey:@"Date"];
        dateString = [dateString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"GMT" withString:@"+0000"];
        NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];  
    df.dateFormat = @"EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z";
    df.locale = [[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US_POSIX"] autorelease];  
    df.timeZone = [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"GMT"];  
    today = [df dateFromString:dateString];
    [df release];    
    }           
    return today;
}
