Note that WebTest automatically tests for a response code of 2xx or 3xx
-- 4xx or 5xx will raise an error. So you don't really need
failUnlessEqual, and you can always assert the response code like:
self.app.post(..., status=200) # e.g., 204 No Content would be an error
self.app.post('/random', status=404)
