Description

This is the current way of making an https request with the testing client:

from django.test import Client

client = Client()
client.get('/', {'wsgi.url_scheme': 'https'})

This is quite obscure and undocumented, something like client.get('/', secure=True) would be far cleaner. The way django.test.client.Client and django.test.client.RequestFactory are build, we would need to modify each request method in both of them.

Has patch: set

PR sent: ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/1820

All the request methods of django.test.client.Client receive a secure
argument that defaults to False indicating wether or not to make the
request through https.

This would make #13725 easier too.

This looks pretty good to me. I left a few comments on the pull request. I'm marking as RFC anyway because these comments are minor and could be made by the committer.
