Hi,
Please find below a patch for:
8185898: setRequestProperty(key, null) results in HTTP header without
colon in request
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8185898
According to RFC 2616 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-4>,
message headers of a HTTP message must adhere to the format:
field-name ":" [ field-value ]
Previously, the request line was handled like a message header and
MessageHeader::print would omit ":" for message headers with value ==
null to account for the request line. However, this can result in a
regular message header missing the colon if its value is null. To fix
this, MessageHeader.requestLine was added, which is used only for the
status line of a request. Any use of MessageHeader.set(0) and
MessageHeader.prepend() in HttpURLConnection was replaced by
MessageHeader::setRequestLine.
