I’m wondering: are the explicit @response references required with rspec for some reason? Everything gets forwarded to @response automatically with the built-in stuff. e.g., instead of:

specify "should render hello at /" do
get_it '/'
@response.should be_ok
@response.body.should == "Hello"
 end

You should be able to:

specify "should render hello at /" do
get_it '/'
should be_ok
body.should == "Hello"
 end

I think all of the plumbing to make that work is in ‘sinatra/test/unit’ (or maybe ‘sinatra/test/methods’)…
