Spring no longer supports trailing slashes by default, as of https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/28552. However, unit tests that are setup using the StandaloneMockMvcBuilder still have default support for trailing slashes. This causes an inconsistency that does not reflect what spring does by default. By changing the default to false, unit tests will accurately reflect the base implementation, which will cause less confusion when unit tests are working and production code is not.

@rstoyanchev, what do you think about switching the default here?
Comment From: rstoyanchev
Yes, it makes sense to align the default, but maybe in 6.2 only.
