I had to use sub-URI deployment (could not use subdomains…), and when  
running my functional tests, I the redirected\_to assertion embed the  
prefix… quite normal ;-))

is there a way to stipulate this prefix in the test setup to avoid  
hard-coding in all the tests ?

Expected response to be a redirect to [http://test.host/my/page](http://test.host/my/page)  
but was a redirect to [http://test.host/intranet/my/page](http://test.host/intranet/my/page)

/intranet being the prefix in this case …

many thanks for your suggestions
