  request_via_redirect(:delete, path, parameters, headers)
end

- (Object) follow_redirect!

  raise "not a redirect! #{status} #{status_message}" unless redirect?
  get(response.location)
  status
end

- (Object) get(path, parameters = nil, headers = nil)

Performs a GET request with the given parameters.

  • path: The URI (as a String) on which you want to perform a GET request.

  • parameters: The HTTP parameters that you want to pass. This may be nil, a Hash, or a String that is appropriately encoded (application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data).

  • headers: Additional HTTP headers to pass, as a Hash. The keys will automatically be upcased, with the prefix 'HTTP_' added if needed.

This method returns an Response object, which one can use to inspect the details of the response. Furthermore, if this method was called from an ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest object, then that object's @response instance variable will point to the same response object.

You can also perform POST, PUT, DELETE, and HEAD requests with #post, #put, #delete, and #head.
