end

#delete_via_redirect(path, parameters = nil, headers_or_env = nil) ⇒ Object

Performs a DELETE request, following any subsequent redirect. See request_via_redirect for more information.

  request_via_redirect(:delete, path, parameters, headers_or_env)
end

#follow_redirect! ⇒ Object

Follow a single redirect response. If the last response was not a redirect, an exception will be raised. Otherwise, the redirect is performed on the location header.

  raise "not a redirect! #{status} #{status_message}" unless redirect?
  get(response.location)
  status
end

#get(path, parameters = nil, headers_or_env = nil) ⇒ Object

Performs a GET request with the given parameters.

  • path: The URI (as a String) on which you want to perform a GET request.

  • parameters: The HTTP parameters that you want to pass. This may be nil, a Hash, or a String that is appropriately encoded (application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data).

  • headers_or_env: Additional headers to pass, as a Hash. The headers will be merged into the Rack env hash.

This method returns a Response object, which one can use to inspect the details of the response. Furthermore, if this method was called from an ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest object, then that object’s @response instance variable will point to the same response object.

You can also perform POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE, and HEAD requests with #post, #patch, #put, #delete, and #head.
