httpclient support about fakeweb

[nbibler]

So, I put together my own patch which adds this support - however - it's certainly not for mainline use as it is specific to httpclient + soap4r at the moment: http://gist.github.com/206226

However, it raised the interesting idea of abstracting the generated Net::HTTPResponse object to fit other libraries. In this case, I had to extend the response to carry status and content methods. It may be more useful to have a custom response object come back through FakeWeb.response_for, in most cases the current Net::HTTP-like object, but for httpclient, for instance, a slightly modified version. If that were available, I wouldn't have had to monkey with Net::HTTPHeader and HTTPClient in this patch.

Just a thought.

Note to self, httpclient is now on github. http://github.com/nahi/httpclient

implemented the patch in a branch on my fork:

http://github.com/woahdae/fakeweb/commit/a45da6465ec12de5ccf6976e9245fcac8476e07f

working in tests relying on soap4r

(would have sent a pull request, but didn't want to write tests and don't know how to make it generic)

Hey guys, I just runned into the same issue. I need to mock soap4r gem and it uses httpclient. I found this thread, that points to a fork which has the specific changes to fake httpclient, but it seems a bit older (January 05, 2009)..

Do you guys have any news about it?
Thanks!
