How to retrieve response headers in integration tests?

With the code below, the output is "Date is: ". Why? If I start the server and `curl` the URL, I get headers that include Last-Modified, yet I cannot retreive them from within the integration tests. What am I doing wrong?

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../test_helper' class CacheTest < ActionController::IntegrationTest   def test_caching     get "/repos/#{@repos}/revisions"     assert_response 200     date = headers['Last-Modified']     puts 'Date is: ' + date.inspect     # ...   end end

Thanks

Okay, so the AWDR book was mistaken (p212) in that the 'headers' accessor does not give you useful information from the last response in the integration test. Instead, using 'response.headers' gave me what I was expecting.
