I am trying to test a CakePHP action that deals with a signup form
secured with the `Security` component. I have configured the component
in a UsersController like this:

    public $components = array(
      'Security' => array('unlockedFields' =>
array('password_again')),
    );

I can execute the action in a browser, but whenever I run the test
case it fails with the following message:

    "The request has been black-holed"

I have tried to disable the validation inside the test case in several
ways:

    $this->Users->Security->enable = false;
    $this->Users->Security->validatePost = false;
    $this->Users->Security = null; // desperate measure :)

    // still fails
    $this->testAction('/signup', array('data' => array(...), 'return'
=> 'contents'));

But the test insists in using the `Security` validation of `POST`
request. I am using CakePHP 2.0.3 and PHPUnit 3.6.3.

By the way, I am not using the `UsersController` directly, but a
`TestUsersController` class that CakePHP baked for me (as a
replacement for `generate` method, I think).

What's the right way of dealing with Security component in a test case?
