Does anybody know how to upload files in RoR Integration Tests?
I have seen lots on simulating uploads with Functional and Unit tests, but all efforts I have made so far do not encode the files as multipart form-data so they end up as a string.
I suspect I need to encode my post but don't see how this can be done in the API.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

that doesn't help with integration testing, because the TestUploadedFile instance gets transformed into a string, yielding a
NoMethodError (undefined method `content_type' for "#<ActionController::TestUploadedFile:0xa6ff4848>":String)
in the controller expecting an uploaded file.

Rails Cookbook also has a recipe for testing file upload, you may want to check it out. Only rough cut version is available now.
I just built a small plugin for this - have a look at it there:
