// --- TLS Detection Tests ---
//
// The predicate itself is tested in internal/reqtls. What is tested
// here is the consequence that actually matters: which of the two
// gorilla/csrf instances a request is routed to.
//
// The two are told apart behaviourally rather than by inspection. On
// the STRICT (TLS) instance, a state-changing request carrying no
// Origin header must supply a Referer -- gorilla/csrf rejects it with
// ErrNoReferer before it ever looks at the token, to defend a
// TLS site against an HTTP machine-in-the-middle injecting a form. On
// the RELAXED (plaintext) instance that check is skipped and a valid
// token is enough. So: valid token, no Origin, no Referer, and the
// outcome names the instance.
//
// Landing on the relaxed instance for a genuinely-HTTPS deployment is
// the defect: an exact == "https" comparison did exactly that for the
// uppercase and comma-appended spellings below.

// request with the given transport to the strict instance. It also
// asserts the CSRF cookie's Secure attribute agrees, since the two are
// set by the same choice and must never disagree.
