How to set cookie expiry?

See original GitHub issue

Hi all,

I’m hitting what seems to be a super straightforward problem, but… how does one set a cookie expiry?

I have something similar to this right now:

    responses.add(
        responses.POST,
        url,
        status=200,
        adding_headers={
            'Set-Cookie': (
                'sessionid=c83dc7dc-e0b9-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx; '
                'expires=Wed, 29 Aug 2018 15:23:46 GMT;'
            ),
        }
    )

Relevant traceback portion:

I’m sorry, but I’m no longer working on this problem set, and I do not have time to re-verify the expected behavior.
