Hi,

I tried to find some help in Shoulda list without a positive result. I  
am able to test DELETE :destroy with Test::Unit but I cannot with  
Shoulda because instead of a 302 (redirect) I get 200.

Do you have a basic and simple example on how to test the delete part  
of the CRUD?

Thanks.

The problem is that when running the app with Mongrel I get a correct  
302 but when testing the answer is

You are being [redirected](http://test.host/%0Aconfigurations).

I am using Rails 2.3.8

I do not think that is correct, it seems a bug. Any reply at all?
