Is `absolute_expiry_time` in milliseconds? about rhea HOT 7 CLOSED

Yes, though you can set it to a javascript Date object.

Yes, you are correct that support for setting it as a Date object is not available on 1.0.2, where you must set it as the millisecs from epoch (i.e. the value returned by getTime() on the date object).

great, thank you! closing this issue for now, but I do think it'd be useful to specify that somewhere such as in the typescript comment. At least for now, someone can search github issues for this answer.

Also, is setting it to a JavaScript date object supported in 1.0.24? The typescript for that version says number for absolute_expiry_time. Reopening for this outstanding question.

I believe so as the tests use the typescript interface: e.g. https://github.com/amqp/rhea/blob/main/test/messages.ts#L247

from rhea.

From my understanding of the commit history, it seems like the corresponding test for 1.0.24 do not use a JavaScript Date object.

Here is a link to the test at the commit where the package.json version was bumped to 1.0.24:
https://github.com/amqp/rhea/blob/2cbe55795b86a43375111f2f446089f55b948ecf/test/messages.ts

Could you clarify what the implication of this is in terms of Date object support on this specific version (1.0.24)? I just want to make sure we are using rhea correctly in production.

Thanks again!
