Feature: stub_with configuration option The `stub_with` configuration option determines which HTTP stubbing library VCR will use. There are currently 3 supported stubbing libraries which support 6 different HTTP libraries: * FakeWeb can be used to stub Net::HTTP. * WebMock can be used to stub: * Net::HTTP * HTTPClient * Patron * Curb * EM HTTP Request * Typhoeus can be used to stub itself. There are some addiitonal trade offs to consider when deciding which stubbing library to use: * FakeWeb does not allow you to stub a request based on the headers or body. Therefore, the `:match_requests_on` option does not support `:body` or `:headers` when you use FakeWeb. Typhoeus and WebMock both support matching on `:body` and `:headers`. * FakeWeb is currently about 4 times faster than WebMock for stubbing Net::HTTP (see benchmarks/http_stubbing_libraries.rb for details). * FakeWeb and WebMock both use extensive monkey patching to stub their supported HTTP libraries. Typhoeus provides all the necessary stubbing and recording integration points, and no monkey patching is required at all. * Typhoeus can be used together with either FakeWeb or WebMock. * FakeWeb and WebMock cannot both be used. Regardless of which library you use, VCR takes care of all of the configuration for you. You should not need to interact directly with FakeWeb, WebMock or the stubbing facilities of Typhoeus. If/when you decide to change stubbing libraries (i.e. if you initially use FakeWeb because it's faster but later need the additional features of WebMock) you can change the `stub_with` configuration option and it'll work with no other changes required.
