MockHttpServletRequest ignoring set fields, how do I get around this?

I am trying to test a servlet filter for a Tomcat application. To do so, I am using the MockHttpServletRequest provided by Spring.

I set it up like this:

MockHttpServletRequest request = new MockHttpServletRequest();
request.setMethod("POST");
request.setRemoteHost("mycompany.com");
request.setRequestURI("/myapp.php");
request.setSecure(true);

but when I the following:

System.out.println(request.getRequestURL());

produces: http://localhost/myapp.php. On the other hand, if I explicitly request one of the fields I set, like:

System.out.println(request.getRemoteHost());

I get: mycompany.com

What's going on here? How can I get getRequestURL to produce what I'm really after: https://mycompany.com/myapp.php

Sotirios was correct regarding the serverName vs. remoteHost; however, that change only gets you partially there.

The following will achieve your goal:

MockHttpServletRequest request = new MockHttpServletRequest();
request.setScheme("https");
request.setServerName("mycompany.com");
request.setServerPort(443);
request.setRequestURI("/myapp.php");

System.out.println(request.getRequestURL());
// Prints: https://mycompany.com/myapp.php

You're creating a MockHttpServletRequest which represents a request which a servlet, running on a server, received.

The javadoc of MockHttpServletRequest#getRemoteHost() (really of ServletRequest) states

Returns the fully qualified name of the client or the last proxy that sent the request.

So what you're setting with setRemoteHost is the hostname/ip of the client making the request, not the hostname of the server receiving the request.

You'll want MockHttpServletRequest#setServerName(String)

request.setServerName("mycompany.com");
