=head1 DESCRIPTION
-Test Catalyst Applications.
+This module allows you to make requests to a Catalyst application either without
+a server, by simulating the environment of an HTTP request using
+L<HTTP::Request::AsCGI> or remotely if you define the CATALYST_SERVER
+environment variable.
+
+The </get> and </request> functions take either a URI or an L<HTTP::Request>
+object.
=head2 METHODS
my $content = get('foo/bar?test=1');
+Note that this method doesn't follow redirects, so to test for a
+correctly redirecting page you'll need to use a combination of this
+method and the L<request> method below:
+
+ my $res = request('/'); # redirects to /y
+ warn $res->header('location');
+ use URI;
+ my $uri = URI->new($res->header('location'));
+ is ( $uri->path , '/y');
+ my $content = get($uri->path);
+
=head2 request
Returns a C<HTTP::Response> object.
if ( $ENV{CATALYST_SERVER} ) {
$request = sub { remote_request(@_) };
$get = sub { remote_request(@_)->content };

- else {

unless( Class::Inspector->loaded( $class ) ) {
require Class::Inspector->filename( $class );
}
=head2 local_request
+Simulate a request using L<HTTP::Request::AsCGI>.
