Simplified example of a controller which takes a POST with a non-xml
and non-form-urlencoded content type:
class PhotosController < ApplicationController
def create
Photo.create :binary_data => request.body.read, :content_type =>
‘image/jpg’
head :ok
end
end
How can I spec this? The way that I’d like to do it would be something
like:
it “creates a new photo from a posted image file” do
Photo.should_receive(:create).with(:binary_data => ‘the data’,
:content_type => ‘image/jpg’)
post :create, :body => ‘the data’
end

What happens when you try this?

It treats :body as a regular urlencoded parameter. i.e., the body of
the POST sent through to the controller is “body=the+data”, when I
want it to be “the data”.
There’s the matter of content-type too; I left that out in hopes if
simplifying the question. The more complete version might be:
post :create, :content_type => ‘image/jpg’, :body => ‘the data’
But :content_type and :body are not treated as special parameters, so
I was wondering if there is some other mechanism for doing this.
