Re: [MO-java-users] MockHttpServletRequest getHeader() not servlet API compliant

[Steve F. <st...@m3...>]

I think we just answered this one.

We are not trying to reproduce the servlet request behaviour, we are=20
trying to instrument a stub that will get us through the test and tell=20
us if the right things happened. If you expect to get a header that is=20
not set, then you should call setupAddHeader("header name", null) -- or=20
whatever the call is -- which will confirm that the client code=20
requested the right header field, and then return a preset value, null.=20
How else can we ensure that your target code has not called an=20
unexpected header?
