Mechanize takes input as plaintext and escapes field values on its own.
If the values are escaped before they are passed to Mechanize, the values will be escaped twice.
These doubly-escaped values will result in incorrect behavior on the server side.
I don't think silence_stream.rb should be stored under
core_extensions, because the way it's implemented, it simply is
no core extension. Also, a grep through webrat source shows that
silence_stream is only used inside the selenium support. This is
why I added webrat/selenium/silence_stream.rb and require it
*before* all other selenium related files in webrat/selenium.rb.
It's necessary to include it this early, because if mode is set
to :selenium, webrat/selenium.rb is required, which in turn
requires webrat/selenium/selenium_session.rb and silence_stream
must be available before selenium_session gets required because
selenium_session already wants to silence the stream.
I added the implementation to webrat/core/configuration.rb because
it seems to me that this always gets read first. I decided to put
it inside a util module Webrat::SilentStream and include this where
appropriate, instead of altering Kernel.
In the lastest release, 0.9.1:
* Set sensible defaults on Default for test env [1]
5a33a9586f
* Set :environment to :test in TestHarness
9af37724e0
* Set :environment to :test when Sinatra::Test is included

[1] Only Sinatra::Default provides special options for testing. If you subclass
Sinatra::Base, you'll have to set them yourself.

What's going on when the app redirects to an absolute URL?
* Sinatra relies on Rack::MockSession which sets SERVER_NAME to
"example.org" [1] on request it makes. However, Webrat expects
it to be "www.example.com"
* In MyClassyApp, the redirect URL is made out of Rack::Request#url [2]
which uses SERVER_NAME, which is set to "example.org" by Rack::MockSession.
As a result, Webrat see it as an external redirect and don't follow it.
NOTE:
* SERVER_NAME is stricly equivalent to HTTP_HOST [3]
* This could have been fixed in Webrat::Session too. I'am not sure
that it won't affect other frameworks so I left it intact.
