Bug 66336 – ResourceRequest::doUpdatePlatformRequest() should clear http method

• Status: NEW
• Component: Platform

[Pratik Solanki]

In ResourceRequestMac.mm, ResourceRequest::doUpdateResourceRequest() does

    if (NSString* method = [m_nsRequest.get() HTTPMethod])
        m_httpMethod = method;

This means that we don't clear out the m_httpMethod field if (e.g.) the NSURLRequest was nil. This can cause 2 ResourceRequests to be treated as different when they should be equal e.g. if the 2 ResourceRequests were created with different ctors. We have 2 different ResourceRequestBase actor - one sets the httpMethod to "GET" by default, the other doesn't do anything.

By contrast on the CFNetwork side, we always clear out all the fields.
