HtmlUnitRequestBuilder ignores form encoding type [SPR-14916]

[spring-projects-issues]

Mark Hobson opened SPR-14916 and commented

When using MockMvc with HtmlUnit submitting a form via WebDriver does not send the correct content type header.

The problem is that HtmlUnitRequestBuilder does not use HtmlUnit's WebRequest.encodingType when determining the resultant MockHttpServletRequest's content type.

See the referenced GitHub repo for an example. This Spring test fails using HtmlUnit but passes when ChromeDriver is configured as the WebDriver bean.
