The request has a "Cookie:" header that contains only names
and values, no date or path or domain. The expiration time
appears only in the response header "Set-Cookie:" that set the
cookie, so if you want to know the expiration time you should
save it somewhere when you set the cookie in the first place
(or store it in a cookie value).
That would be a strange thing to do, though. Normally there's
no reason to want the expiration time. All you care about is
whether it's expired, and if it's expired the browser won't
send the cookie. If you're afraid that the cookie is about to
expire, then just reset it and provide a new expiration time.
