+    # == Manipulating the request collections
+    #
+    # The collections described above link to the response, so you can test if what the actions were expected to do happen. But
+    # some times you also want to manipulate these collections in the request coming in. This is really only relevant for sessions
+    # and cookies, though. For sessions, you just do:
+    #
+    #   @request.session[:key] = "value"
+    #
+    # For cookies, you need to manually create the cookie, like this:
+    #
+    #   @request.cookies["key"] = CGI::Cookie.new("key", "value")
