Advanced Usage

$3

HttpBackend workflow is quite simple:

* On browser.get() a mock module is injected to your angularjs application
On whenor when you call manually backend.sync(), fixtures is synchronised with your angularjs app.

$3

For perfomance issue you can disable auto sync:

``javascript
var backend = new HttpBackend(brower, {autoSync: false});

//Then you should manually call sync function
backend.whenGET(/results/).respond('raoul');
backend.whenGET(/responses/).respond('raoul');
backend.sync();

`

$3

* when GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, JSONP add a fixtures, accept literal object, or a callback
* sync, manualy sync fixtures
* clear, clear http backend module
* reset, reset all fixture
