rspec users - Feb 2009 - Speccing the format portion of a controller

Hi -- I have a hacky work-around for this, but wondered if anyone could tell
me the canonical way of sending the get/put/etc. portion of a spec with
format information.I guess with something that might look like this:

def do_get
  get :index, :format => :xml
end

Cheers,
   Doug.

This is what is in the specs generated by rspec-rails:

  request.env["HTTP_ACCEPT"] = "application/xml"
  get :index

Not so fast! It works, and it''s what rspec uses, but that
doesn''t make
it good ( as opposed to evil ).

I''d add support for something friendlier, but maybe it really belongs  
in rails proper.

should work.  Notice it''s a string instead of symbol.

Well, I can guarantee that it''s better than any home-grown solution I
would
attempt, so I''ll be happy w/ that for now! ;)Cheers again,
   Doug.
