Describe the problem

I've seen numerous questions on StackOverflow from people trying to manually create a Mock for package:http's http.Client.

The Flutter cookbook page demonstrating mocking does exactly that, and I think it's steering people the wrong way. Mocking http.Client can be tricky since the stub might be called with a headers argument that they don't expect.

Furthermore, it's unnecessary. package:http provides its own MockClient class to make testing easier.

Expected fix

Create a different example that mocks something else.
