Sending custom headers through RSpec

Question

Given my API consumers are required to send a customer HTTP header like this:

# curl -H \'X-SomeHeader: 123\' http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/api_call.json
         


        

Answer 1

well, maybe too late for people but just to be lined up:

it 'should get profile when authorized' do
  user = FactoryGirl.create :user
  request.headers[EMAIL_TOKEN] = user.email
  request.headers[AUTH_TOKEN] = user.authentication_token
  get :profile
  response.should be success
end

just call request.headers with appropriate settings.
