Sorry, new patch cleans that up.

I had to double-check but I think it's correct as it is. The av_gettime() is based on the time since the epoch, which is already in GMT/UTC. The cookies timestamp is also expressed in GMT/UTC per the HTTP spec (and per av_timegm), so I believe these are comparable.

If you were not talking about the timezones when you said "same base", I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at. I tested on my system and av_gettime()/1000000 returns the same value as time(NULL).

Thanks again.
