DESCRIPTION

Test Catalyst Applications.

METHODS

get

Returns the content.

my $content = get('foo/bar?test=1');

Note that this method doesn't follow redirects, so to test for a correctly redirecting page you'll need to use a combination of this method and the request method below:

my $res = request('/'); # redirects to /y
warn $res->header('location');
use URI;
my $uri = URI->new($res->header('location'));
is ( $uri->path , '/y');
my $content = get($uri->path);

request

Returns a HTTP::Response object.

my $res = request('foo/bar?test=1');

local_request

remote_request

Do an actual remote request using LWP.
