[LRUG] redirect_to with additional parameters

[Riccardo Tacconi]

Now I understand :-) You guessed right. I am using shoulda an factory_girl,
but I still have to learn Cucumber.

I think that by feeding redirect_to with a string starting with a / we pass
and absolute value, so if the application will be deployed under a sub
directory, the redirect won't work. I will put a constant in front of the
string with the sub directory name.
