Comment #1 on issue 296 by dorma...@rydia.net: Should SET operation returned STORED when unix time expiration has already past
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/issues/detail?id=296
Settting values in the past is useful for some usage scenarios.Why is swift setting an explicit unix timestamp instead of using a relative value of "60" for the timeout? That's a severe design issue on their end to limit you to just unix timestamps.
