#33562 closed New feature (fixed)

Description

This already works for get_signed_cookie:

>>> request.get_signed_cookie("mykey", max_age=timedelta(days=3))

This is due to the underlying behaviour of TimestampSigner, which was fixed to do this in #21363.

But for set_cookie and set_signed_cookie it accepts only a number:

>>> response = HttpResponse()
>>> response.set_cookie("mykey", max_age=timedelta(days=3))
TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'datetime.timedelta'

Fixed #33562 -- Made HttpResponse.set_cookie() support timedelta for the max_age argument.

In f3bf6c42:

Refs #33562 -- Made HttpResponse.set_cookie() raise ValueError when both "expires" and "max_age" are passed.

This fixes the case where you might pass set_cookie(expires=val, max_age=val)
and max_age is silently ignored.
