MockHttpServletRequest.protocol default should be "HTTP/1.1", not "http" [SPR-15232]

[spring-issuemaster]

Adam Michalik opened SPR-15232 and commented

ServletRequest.getProtocol() JavaDoc says

Returns the name and version of the protocol the request uses in the form protocol/majorVersion.minorVersion, for example, HTTP/1.1.

However, MockHttpServletRequest.protocol defaults to "http" which violates the contract of the JavaDoc.

There is no way to override this default when using MockMvc and MockHttpServletRequestBuilder, so the default MockHttpServletRequest.protocol should rather be "HTTP/1.1" so that it better resembles a real-life HTTP request.
