Previously, form and query parameters were handled together as
request parameters. Howeer, request parameters are a server-side
construct that's specific to the servlet specification. As such
they're not appropriate for the client-side documentation that
Spring REST Docs aims to produce.
This commit replaces support for documenting request parameters
with support for documenting query paramters found in the query
string of the request's URI and for documenting form parameters
found in the form URL encoded body of the request.
Closes gh-832
In Framework 5.2, the Content-Length is now provided by MockMvc. In
earlier versions it is not. This commit updates the tests to tolerate
this difference in behaviour so that the compatibility tests pass
again.
Previously empty parameters in a query string were handled
inconsistently such that they sometimes had a value of "" in a list
and sometimes were represented as an empty list. This inconsistency
lead to the parameter appearing twice in the cURL request snippet.
This commit removes the inconsistency by always using an empty string
to represent an empty query parameter value.
Fixes gh-647
Previously, MockHttpServletRequest allowed its body to be ready
multiple times using its InputStream. As of recent Spring Framework
5.1 snapshots, this is no longer the case.
This commit moves to directly accessing the request's content as a
byte array using getContentAsByteArray() which was introduced in
Framework 5.0.
Closes gh-515
This commit upgrades to Spring Framework 5.0.0.RC1. It also upgrades
the Spring Boot-based samples to use Spring Boot 2.0.0.M1 which
supports Spring Framework 5. Lastly, it upgrades a number of
third-party dependencies to align with Spring Framework 5 and Spring
Boot 2.
Closes gh-386
