[rspec-users] Story for Rest

[Jim Morris]

Attached is a custom matcher using hpricot, (and the spec for it) it has a "have_xpath matcher for
checking xml.

I has an earlier one using rexml but hpricot is faster, you can read about that here....

This new hpricot one is moslty based on someone elses work, and I'll credit them when I got my blog
entry on it done.
