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

[Rebecka]

Rebecka added the comment:

I've checked and an updated test file for 3.4 shows the same behaviour in the renamed module http.cookiejar.

Even though no standard exists I hope 3.4+ would be changed to simplify the cookie handling, since there is a lot of hassle converting UTC times to local times (which in general should be avoided to avoid introducing further problems with e.g. daylight savings).
