Get the date in HTTP format using _time or _dateTimeConvert function in JMeter

I have the JMeter test where I use the function ${_time()} to get the current time in epoch format.

I know how to convert this date in simple format e.g. ${__dateTimeConvert(${__time},,M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss a)}, but I'm not be able to convert the date in HTTP formats as: "EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss yyyy", "EEE, dd-MMM-yy HH:mm:ss zzz", "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz" , e.g. Wed, 21 Oct 2020 07:28:00 GMT.

Is it possible for listed functions or I have to use JSR223 sampler with a custom script?

You can use time function with format as

 ${__time(EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss yyyy,)}

Use __timeShift with only relevant format parameter:

${__timeShift(EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss yyyy)}

timeShift function returns a date in the given format with the specified amount of seconds, minutes, hours, days or months added
