Answer 1

I was trying to write some integration tests for requests that redirected as well, and found a good example by the author of the module himself here.

In TJ's example, he's using chaining, so I used something like that as well.

Consider a scenario in which a logged-in user is redirected to the home page when he or she logs out.

it('should log the user out', function (done) {
  request(app)
    .get('/logout')
    .end(function (err, res) {
      if (err) return done(err);
      // Logging out should have redirected you...
      request(app)
        .get('/')
        .end(function (err, res) {
          if (err) return done(err);
          res.text.should.not.include('Testing Tester');
          res.text.should.include('login');
          done();
        });
    });
});

Depending on how many redirects you have, you might have to nest a few callbacks, but TJ's example should suffice.
