making two requests to the same controller in rails integrations specs

I'm having problem making two requests to the same url in a rails integration test, with rspec

it 'does something' do

  # get '/something', {:status=>'any_other'}, @header ## <<<<< this line causes problem!

  get '/something', {:status=>'ok'}, @header
  doc = Nokogiri::HTML(response.body)
  lis = doc.css('#the_id')
  lis.size.should == 1
  lis[0].text.should include('anything')
end

If I make two requests to the same controller, the test seems to maintain the old response...

In the above example, if I uncomment that line, the test breaks beacause it maintains the result of the first 'query'

Is it a limitation of the test stack, or am I doing something wrong?
