Hi,

I am new to RSpec and BDD.
I was wondering if RSpec specifications are a good solution for testing REST webservices (not implemented in Rails). If so, what would be a good way to test something like the API described below?

===========

GET http://localhost/workflow text/xml

Result: 200 OK

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <workflows>
       <workflow>flow1</workflow>
       <workflow>flow2</workflow>
       <workflow>flow3</workflow>
   </workflows>


POST http://localhost/workflow?name=flow4 text/xml

Data:

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <workflow>
       <monitor type="page" priority="0">
           <provides result="test"/>
       </monitor>
       <process command="test" id="test" weight="100">
           <needs result="test"/>
           <provides result="test_result"/>
           <error result="error"/>
       </process>
   </workflow>

Result: 201 Created


GET http://localhost/workflow text/xml

Result: 200 OK

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <workflows>
       <workflow>flow1</workflow>
       <workflow>flow2</workflow>
       <workflow>flow3</workflow>
       <workflow>flow4</workflow>
   </workflows>


GET http://localhost/workflow/flow4 text/xml

Result: 200 OK

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <workflow>
       <monitor type="page" priority="0">
           <provides result="test"/>
       </monitor>
       <process command="test" id="test" weight="100">
           <needs result="test"/>
           <provides result="test_result"/>
           <error result="error"/>
       </process>
   </workflow>


DELETE http://localhost/workflow/flow3

Result: 204 No Content


GET http://localhost/workflow text/xml

Result: 200 OK

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <workflows>
       <workflow>flow1</workflow>
       <workflow>flow2</workflow>
       <workflow>flow4</workflow>
   </workflows>

TIA,

Erik.
