HTTP response testing for NodeUnit

Usage

//Setup client with automatic tests on each response
var api = require('nodeunit-httpclient').create({
    port: 3000,
    path: '/api',   //Base URL for requests
    status: 200,    //Test each response is OK (can override later)
    headers: {      //Test that each response must have these headers (can override later)
        'content-type': 'application/json'  )
    }
});

//Automatic tests on response object
exports.test1 = function(test) {
    api.get(test, '/user/nonexistent', {
        status: 404,
        headers: { 'content-type': 'text/plain' },
        body: 'Not found'
    })
};

//Test a response
exports.test2 = function(test) {
    api.get(test, '/user', function(res) {
        //JSON responses are automatically parsed:
        test.equal(res.json, [{ name: 'Eric' }, { 'name': 'Kyle' }]);

        test.done();
    });
};

//POST with data and custom header
exports.test3 = function(test) {
    api.post(test, '/user', {
        headers: { foo: 'bar' },
        data: { name: 'Charlie' } //Objects are serialised as JSON automatically
    }, {
        status: 200
    }, function(res) {
        test.equal(1, 1);
        
        test.done();
    });
};
