[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Ignore expired cookies

Hello,

On some authenticated Neulion streams, they send a cookie from the past,
like so:

Set-Cookie: nlqptid=""; Domain=.neulion.com; Expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970
00:00:10 GMT; Path=/

As a result, the good cookie value is overwritten and authentication breaks
immediately. I realise disqualifying a cookie over the date might open a
can of worms when it comes to date formatting used by different systems,
but I added Neulions wrong format and the http standard format.

Please let me know if this is acceptable. I've run it against fate and
there were no problems.
