===================

HTTP response testing for NodeUnit

Usage
-----

//Setup client with automatic tests on each response
var api = require('nodeunit-httpclient').create({
port: 3000,
path: '/api', //Base URL for requests
status: 200, //Test each response is OK (can override later)
headers: { //Test that each response must have these headers (can override later)
'content-type': 'application/json' )
}
});

//Automatic tests on response object
exports.test1 = function(test) {
api.get(test, '/user/nonexistent', {
status: 404,
headers: { 'content-type': 'text/plain' },
body: 'Not found'
})
};

//Test a response
exports.test2 = function(test) {
api.get(test, '/user', function(res) {
//JSON responses are automatically parsed:
test.equal(res.json, [{ name: 'Eric' }, { 'name': 'Kyle' }]);

test.done();
});
};

//POST with data and custom header
exports.test3 = function(test) {
api.post(test, '/user', {
headers: { foo: 'bar' },
data: { name: 'Charlie' } //Objects are serialised as JSON automatically
}, {
status: 200
}, function(res) {
test.equal(1, 1);

test.done();
});
};
