rspec users - Dec 2008 - I met a trouble: cannot do a form post to an outside website

now i use webrat for cucumber scenario testing. i have a page with a
form, which will post to a bank payment gateway. that is,

<form action="http://www.abank.com/pay/blablabla">
   ...
   <input type=submit name="sbm" value="confirm"/>
</form>

my scenario step script is:

=And I press "confirm"
=
then I got such an error:

"No route matches "/pay/blablabla" with
{:method=>:post}..."

i think webrat or rails ignore the "http://www.abank.com" prefix
automatically. and then i wrote a test script

=get "http://www.abank.com/.."
puts response.body
=
yes, the test result proves the suspicion. i think it should be handled
in the rails testing layer. so, anybody can help me? thanks in advance.

I solved this problem by hacking webrat''s code. walking around the 
requesting from webrat form, and then use Net::HTTP for a substitutor,

require ''net/http''
require ''uri''
require ''nokogiri''

module Webrat
  class Form
    def submit
      if !out_website?(form_action)
        @session.request_page(form_action, form_method, params)
      else
        handle_outwebsite_action(form_action,params)
      end
    end

    def handle_outwebsite_action(form_action,params)
      #...
    end
  end
end

require it before cucumbing.
