Camping list - Nov 2008 - camping/test - Lightweight Mosquito-replacement for 2.0

First of all, I must applaud Julik Tarkhanov for great work on getting
Mosquito 2.0-ready. Well done!

However, much code in Mosquito (which is needed for 1.5-support)
is unnecessary in 2.0, and I believe there is better way to structure it
too, so here comes my Mosquito-clone: camping/test. Take a look at http://
github.com/judofyr/camping-test and *please* give me some feedback!

Yes, I know this is very similar to Mosquito and I actually don''t want
camping/test to be a project for itself. I realize that 1.5-support is
pretty important for Mosquito, but I would love if camping/test could simply
be renamed to Mosquito and be *the* official Camping testing framework. I
know it''s a lot to ask for, and I fully understand that you
don''t like me
coming here and take over your code, so just scream out if you don''t
like
the idea :-)

Another option would be to ship camping/test with Camping (Sinatra ships
with a minimal testing-framework) so all users are getting testing built-in.
I''m however a little afraid of adding more into Camping; I mean: it
should
still be micro, micro, micro, and testing is really needed for tiny apps.

If not, I can always keep this as a separate project/gem, but I don''t
like
to "compete" with Mosquito and really want this merged into something!

Oh, and if all of you think this is just crap, I will silently shut my mouth
and no offense will be taken :-)

No problem with that if you guarantee 100% API compatibility (like  
automatic encoding of nested arrays and hashes and absolute/relative  
URIs and whatnot).

And if camping/test can run this suite:

http://github.com/julik/pasaporte/tree/master/test%2Ftest_openid.rb

I personally don''t mind at all how much stuff you stick in camping as  
long as camping.rb doesn''t require it. Stuff like the sessions are  
really nice because you only load them if you need them, which is  
important given my cgi environment.
