Well, I don't know what format setDateHeader uses, but the problem is
that you *do* need to worry about the format here. The spec says that
the Expires header must be in a specific format, including that the
timezone is GMT. I don't know if the later specs say anything about
it, but the JSDK API 2.0 docs don't indicate what format setDateHeader
users, so I think it's safer to do it yourself here.
