Making webrat's visit() method send via PUT (or DELETE, or whatever)

[doug livesey]

Hi -- is it possible to get Webrat's visit() method to send as a PUT request?

Sort of like: visit( path_to( "home page" ), :method => :put )

But not like that, as that doesn't work.

Cheers,

   Doug.

Users are not able to visit a website using a verb different than GET,
so using visit via PUT doesn't make sense.

Should've spent a bit more time playing -- this did it:

visit_path( path_to( "home page" ), :put )

Kickass!

Out of interest, how has the need to do this arrised? Or are you using
Cucumber for some nefarious purpose that has nothing to do with BDD?

I don't know how it's arised for Doug, but your question insinuates
that what Doug is using it for is *obviuosly* not BDD. We have used it
several times and I assure you we run a BDD ship. :)
