rspec users - Nov 2006 - Integration testing: coupling of get and post on forms

This is such a vague request it''s not even worthy of a ticket, but:

When rspec does support integration testing, it''d be really nice to be 
able to do things like this plugin does for standard Rails tests:

In a nutshell, it finally closes the loop between "the empty form sent 
by a get" and "the filled-in form returned on a post".  Instead
of
blindly posting parameters, you''re now actually filling in form fields 
in the tests.  Works with hidden fields and everything, too. 

It''d be nice to see rspec do something like that.
