In Spring Framework 5.2.7, MockServerHttpRequest will accept a custom HTTP method as a String parameter. Going forward we should use

MockServerHttpRequest.method("CUSTOM-HTTP-METHOD", "/")

when testing a request with a custom HTTP method.

The test matchesRequireCsrfProtectionWhenNonStandardHTTPMethodIsUsed will need to be updated.

Hey @midumitrescu, I see you have already left a comment on the Spring Framework issue. It looks like the classes you are mentioning, MockServerHttpRequest, HttpMethod are all part of Spring Framework. Is there a change you a proposing for Spring Security as well?

Sorry, I was confused.

The original ticket got closed and I assumed the work will be continued here.
