I was doing this before in a rails 2 app in a ActionController::IntegrationTest with

get '/', {}, {:user_agent => "Googlebot"}

but this seems to not work anymore in Rails 3.

What should I do?

If you use request.user_agent in your application, you can write the following code:

get '/', {}, { "HTTP_USER_AGENT" => "Googlebot" }
