Subject: Re: How can I set body for Net::HTTPResponse

Hi Robert,

From my reading of net/http/response.rb, there's not going to be a straightforward way for you to do this.

If you're testing with something like RSpec, consider using a double[1] or even WebMock[2] to do this for you.

Cheers,

Arlen
