    definitely a +1. I would like to easy check calls to external sources in my acceptance tests (like for OpenID or OAuth). The current webrat setup doesn't allow this without monkey patching it.

    though I'm not sure if Josh's patch is the right way to do this... as it is a class level (ie, not thread safe) change. Might be worth discussing either not following the redirect if it leaves the main host (not the subdomain, but changes hosts completely) or if that is too black box, making it configurable at the visit or click method level.

    Thanks, Adam

    • State changed from “new” to “wontfix”

    Closing this out as I think that the new redirect support handles 90% the use cases.
