Config couch_httpd_auth.timeout doesn't work as expected and throws unhelpful error #465

Description

@bdombro

With a recent update to the cookie dependency, the expires value must be valid when setting cookies. pouchdb-server does not limit the timeout config option, which if too big causes Express to set an invalid date. This also causes an uncaught and hard to troubleshoot error.

Unhelpful Error that bubbles: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getSecurity')

Suggestions:

  1. I created a PR to better bubble errors and be more tolerant of high timeouts.
  2. I also created a PR in Express to better tolerate high maxAges
