[issue34951] cookielib/cookiejar cookies' Expires date parse fails with long month names

Martin Panter <vadmium+py at gmail.com> added the comment:

RFC 6265 says that only the first three letters of the month are significant, and the rest of the token should be ignored. See <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#section-5.1.1>:

month = ( "jan" / "feb" / "mar" / "apr" /
    "may" / "jun" / "jul" / "aug" /
    "sep" / "oct" / "nov" / "dec" ) *OCTET

I have not heard of an Expires field syntax with a numeric month.
