Clojurians Log v2

Hi, I'm using ring-defaults middleware to get the ring.middleware.params/wrap-params (I'm also using munntaja.middleware/wrap-format), and these seem to be adding in nil values for :body (and :query-string respectively). This stops the requests being ring-spec compliant, as these keys are not nilable - is there a way to get wrap-params to remove the key instead of adding in a nil value to keep the request spec-compliant?

I see a failure on the first invocation of my handler function after locating it with reitit routing

Here's my error (via expound):

Call to #'hanabi.web/initialise did not conform to spec:
web.clj:181

Detected 2 errors

i'm using httpkit

it appears that the request that reaches my handler contains the :body and :query-string keys both with nil values, so the problem is not with middleware, sorry

i've raised an issue with httpkit: https://github.com/http-kit/http-kit/issues/377

like the response :headers, could all the empty request keys be defined as s/nillable?

I've just tried with jetty, same result. Both send requests with nil values for :bodyand :query-string

So i guess this must be a problem with ring itself?

The spec: https://github.com/ring-clojure/ring-spec/blob/master/src/ring/core/spec.clj#L115

I also seem to get a missing :protocol from time to time as well

I actually think the spec is good here, I don't see the point of including nil values in maps, but at the moment it seems pretty unusable because I can't find anywhere to get a valid ring request.
