It treats :body as a regular urlencoded parameter.  i.e., the body of
the POST sent through to the controller is "body=the+data", when I
want it to be "the data".

There''s the matter of content-type too; I left that out in hopes if
simplifying the question.  The more complete version might be:

post :create, :content_type => ''image/jpg'', :body =>
''the data''

But :content_type and :body are not treated as special parameters, so
I was wondering if there is some other mechanism for doing this.
