Send the request

After setting up the request it can be sent to the server in a few different ways. Keep in mind that all configuration regarding the request must be done prior to any of the following steps, as they will actually send the request.

When I request :path

Request :path using HTTP GET. Shorthand for When I request :path using HTTP GET.

When I request :path using HTTP :method

:path is relative to the base_uri configuration option, and :method is any HTTP method, for instance POST or DELETE. If :path starts with a slash, it will be relative to the root of base_uri.

Examples:

Assume that the ``base_uri`` configuration option has been set to ``http://example.com/dir`` in the following examples.

Step	:path	:method	Resulting URI
When I request “/?foo=bar&bar=foo”	/?foo=bar&bar=foo	GET	http://example.com/?foo=bar&bar=foo
When I request “/some/path” using HTTP DELETE	/some/path	DELETE	http://example.com/some/path
When I request “foobar” using HTTP POST	foobar	POST	http://example.com/dir/foobar
