Framework: temporarySignedRoute expiration not working in different timezones

[Jaspur]

• Laravel Version: 6.0
• PHP Version: 7.2.1
• Database Driver & Version: pgsql

Description:

I'm using the temporarySignedRoute functionality.

$url = URL::temporarySignedRoute(
    'foobar', now()->addHours(6), ['foobar' => $foo->bar]
);

This works when I'm in the same timezone as my server (the Netherlands). But when someone else requested a temporarySignedUrl in for instance the US, there is a different timezone. Then it returns me that the Signature is invalid.
In the docs I cannot find things about timezone or something you have to configure for this, so probably this is a bug?

Steps To Reproduce:

Make a _temporarySignedRoute_ and open this in a different timezone then the server is configured at.

$url = URL::temporarySignedRoute(
    'foobar', now()->addHours(6), ['foobar' => $foo->bar]
);

This doesn't make sense to me - the expiration timestamp is generated and validated using the servers time. It's not validated against the timestamp the user is visiting from.

Are you setting the applications timezone to the users somehow?

[Jaspur]

@netpok No, but even when I try that:

$url = URL::temporarySignedRoute(
  'foobar', now()->setTimezone(config('app.timezone'))->addHours(6), ['foobar' => $foo->bar]
);

It is not working.

[netpok]

The call to now() should return the same time regardless the browser timezone.
