[issue22296] cookielib uses time.time(), making incorrect checks of expiration times in cookies

[Rebecka]

Rebecka added the comment:

Akira is correct: using time.mktime to produce the expiration date for the cookie is wrong (thank you very much for the pointers!).

Using e.g. http.cookiejar.http2time with a HTTP formatted date string gives a correct time stamp (with which cookie.is_expired succeeds), so this was not a bug (just user error...).
